Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing

The compact disc player

The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it

If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing

Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids get into the system.

Compact Disc Player

1 Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records. Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.

2 Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from your local dealer).

Tape Decks

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

GB

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.

Before Contacting the After-Sales Service

It always takes a little time to become familiar with a new appliance. If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.

1 Press PUSH EJECT( ) to open the cassette deck.

2 Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

Head (1)

Rollers (2)

Drive capstans (3)

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.
