Care instructions
Cleaning the unit
For cleaning, use a clean cloth which
has been moistened slightly with water.
Do not use chemicals or house-
hold cleansers. Keep all types of
liquids and fluids away from this unit.
Otherwise, surfaces or electrical
components could be damaged.
<
Handling CDs
CDs have a protective coating on both
sides. In spite of this, take the following
precautions:
>
Always hold CDs at the outer edge,
and avoid fingerprints or dust,
scratches or moisture on the reflective scanning side of the CD
>
Do not write on CDs or affix labels to
them
>
If necessary, wipe the reflective
(signal) side of the CD with a suitable
cleaning cloth (commercialy available), working in straight lines from
the inside outwards
>
CDs which have condensed moisture
on them (from large temperature
differences, for instance) may not
function properly when they are
played.
Do not use solvents or household
cleansers. Do not use the cleaning
agents or antistatic sprays which are
designed for use with records.
