playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
!Before transporting the unit
Remove all CDs from the unit. Your unit checks whether ther e are
any discs inside the unit when the tray is closed. "NO DISC"
appears if no disc is left. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by
mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.
!Care of compact discs
Compact disc s are fairly resist ant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due t o an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Fol low
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec-
tion and player.
"Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
"Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.
"Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on
the CDs can cause noise or m istracking. 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.

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab mois tened with
commercial head/pi nch rol ler cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
"When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.
"After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/rec ording time by u sing a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.
