Compact Discs Maintenance

zTreat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edge. Never allow your fingers to contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

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

zClean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

zIf a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

zWhen cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

zTo remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

zFingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no groove to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a piece of soft cloth should remove most particle.

Cleaning the tape heads

When dust or reddish-brown oxide has accumulated on the tape deck heads, pinch roller and capstan. Failure to clean these parts can result in inferior quality of sound, distortion of recorded sound, deterioration of high frequency sound reproduction and inconsistent tape speed.

To ensure playback and recording with good quality sound, use a cleaning tape (available from your local audio dealer) to clean the head block of the deck after about every 10 hours of use.

1.Open the cassette compartment lid by pressing STOP/EJECT button.

2.Moisten a cotton bud with isopropyl alcohol or special head cleaning fluid. Gently rub the face of PLAY and RECORD head and erase head. Also clean the capstan and pinch roller.
