surface.
Avoid the following places to
store the tape:
- In dusty places

your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.
Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in
cabinets or on shelves.
Keep the electronic swing panel closed when not in use.

Cleaning the unit

Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-
diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe
clean with a dry cloth.
Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about
the following:
- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
- DO NOT wipe it strong.
- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in
contact with it for a long time.

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
following 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.

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.
