Do not use spray cleaners on your Singing Machine. It is im- portant that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.

The previous recording is not completely erased.

Recording is not performance from the cassette section, periodically clean the heads, pinch rollers and capstans whenever an accumulation of dust and red-brown oxide particles is noticed. To do this, open the cassette compartments. Carefully rub each head (4,5,8), pinch roller (3,7) and cap- stan (2,6) with a cotton swab (1) moistened with isopropyl alcohol or special head-cleaning fluid.

Although the music tracks in the disc are covered with a protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. Ensure that you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in their hold- ers immediately after use.

Cleaning will not normally be necessary. However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from center to edge. You can moisten the disc first if necessary.

CD PLAYER

The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or greased.

CLEANING THE CD LASER LENS

Sometimes dust or other foreign matter can cause problems with the CD/CDG playing properly. Use a CD-lens cleaning disc according to the cleaning disc manufacturer s instructions. We recommend you clean your laser lens every 10 hours of use or every month whichever comes first. If cleaning the lens doesnt correct your problem, check the CD/ CDG disc to be sure it is free of dust, dirt or scratches.
