Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from
the center out to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine,
thinner, or commercially available cleaners or anti-
static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in
direct sunlight.
On safety
Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead)
from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time. When unplugging the
system, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid get into the system,

Be careful when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (for example, with wax, oil,
polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and
cause the system to malfunction. In this situation,
remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal
and is not cause for alarm.
