•Remove the CD from its case by holding it at
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, 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 the case.
•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, ben- zine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the CD holder and clean the lens as shown.
•Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.

•If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
•In a damp room.
•If the System is brought directly from a cold
to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.
