Maintenance
To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in
cabinets or on shelves.
• Keep the CD trays, and the MD loading slot cover
closed when not in use.

Handling CDs

• Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of
the disc, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the CD when placing it
back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and
moisture.
To clean the CD
Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean
the CD.
Handling MDs • Do not open the shutter.
- The shutter is locked so that it
will not open. Trying to force it
open will break the MD. If the
shutter opens accidentally, close
it again quickly without
touching the MD inside.
• Do not place MDs in the follow-
ing places:
- High temperature areas such as
in direct sunlight or inside a
car.
- High humidity areas, e.g. in a
bathroom.
- On a beach or sandy area.
• Clean MDs regularly.
- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft
dry cloth.
