SERVICE AND CARE

The cabinet housing and front panel of the CD 306 SACD may be cleaned with a soft cloth and

Windex or a window cleaner. The frequency of cleaning will be governed by how many hours the

CD 306 SACD is operated and by operating environment cleanliness.

Careful consideration has been given to the design of your CD 306 SACD processor to keep

maintenance problems to a minimum. Any problems or requests for service should be referred to

factory without a return authorization number (RA) from the Customer Service Department.
