CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Compact Discs

•Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact compact disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact compact disc.

•Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact disc label.

•Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

•If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

•When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.

•Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.

•Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink may damage the surface.

Cleaning the unit

•To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.

•The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

•Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
