HGeneral

IDo not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinner or insecticides on
the unit.
IDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
140°F (60°C) or to extreme low temperatures.
IKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields,
excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home
computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical noise.
IHold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC

HCare of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can
occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface.
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec-
tion and player.
IDo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side.
Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark on this surface.
IKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive mois-
ture.
IAlways hold CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs
can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along
the radius.
