Caution:

Wait for the disc to stop rotating before pressing the OPEN button.

Note: This unit can play 3” (8cm) single CDs without an adapter. Do not use a CD single adapter for these discs.

CLEANING DISCS

Finger prints 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 debris, 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 anti-static spray on a com- pact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CABINET

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.

CLEANING THE LENS

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as below:

•Dust or Dry Particles

Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens several times and wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Blow on the lens one more time.

•Fingerprints

If the lens cannot be cleaned by using a brush/blower, use a dry cotton swab starting from the middle and working to the outside edge.
