Maintenance

Unit:

Wipe the unit and remote control with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a cloth which has been dipped in water (or soapy water) and wrung out. Then wipe them dry.

•If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its directions first.

•Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.

MDs:

If the MD cartridge is dirty wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

When storing MDs, avoid locations which are

• Exposed to direct sunlight.

•Susceptible to high levels of humidity or dust.

•Directly exposed to heat from a heating appliance.

•On top of a car dashboard or near the rear window.

Handling the MDs
