CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for general reference of the many features found in this unit. As with any cassette player, the cassette section of this sound system does require a minimum of maintenance to keep it in good working condition. The following simple care and maintenance suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the cassette system.

Cassette Care:

1. Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store. Use it! At least every 20 to 30 hours of operation you must clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty cassette player will have a poor sound.

2. Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on each side.

3. Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted or dirty or with loose or torn labels on it.

4. Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing conditions. If a cassette is cold, allow it to warm up before use.

5. Do not keep a cassette in the player when not in use.

6. Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the reels.

Take up any excess slack using a pencil to turn the drive hub in the cassette (see diagram).

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:

COMPACT

Use only compact discs with the mark:

DIGITAL AUDIO

Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended

periods. Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type

of marker.
