Parasound Maintaining Your C/DP-1000, Taking Care of Your Compact Discs, Case of Difficulty

Caution

Be patient while loading the disc. Never try to load the disc before the holder has opened fully. Never try to close the drawer before you are certain the disc is properly seated in the recess of the holder. If the machine tries to withdraw the holder with the disc only partially in place, it may ruin the disc. A disc that is warped may interfere with drawer operation. Do not try to play a warped disc.

Maintaining Your C/DP-1000

Your C/DP-1000 is made to provide years of faithful service. You should keep it dusted, but never use any abrasives, solvents or treated rags which could harm the surface. The acrylic window over the function display is quite easy to scratch.

Try to avoid smoking nearby the player. The residue could easily get into the delicate optical parts.

The same precautions apply to the remote controller.

Since dust and dirt can cause problems, never turn off the C/DP-1000 with the disc drawer open.

Taking Care of Your Compact Discs

Be careful to handle discs only at their edges. For cleaning there are several CD cleaners available at your Parasound dealer. Just remember to wipe gently from inside to out, never in a circular fashion as you would an ordinary LP record. Never leave any discs lying around outside of their proper holders.
