Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If the lens is very dirty, the player may not work. We suggest using a special cleaning disk (not included) available in most music and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you do not have one, you may use a cotton swab very slightly dampened with alcohol to clean the lens.

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean.

Cleaning the Discs

•Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge.

•Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface.

Handling Discs

•Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skipping or noise.

•Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean, do not touch its surface.

•Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches.

•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can warp the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car during summer time).

•Do not stick or write anything on the music side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.

To remove the Disc

Open the CD DOOR by lifting the CD DOOR, hold the disc by the edge while slightly pressing on the center spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the edge to release and remove.

NOTE

Always press the STOP button and wait for the disc to stop rotating before opening the CD DOOR to remove the disc.
