CARE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)

Caring for Compact Discs

• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the com- pact disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprint- ed side of the compact disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.

• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use deter- gents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD clean- ing kit.

• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a sec- tion of the compact disc, it is probably

dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in

circular motions.

• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identifica- tion logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD stan- dard and may not play properly.

• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.

• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

when cleaning.
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other fur-
niture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
