Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your
discs and the mechanism clean.

Handling discs

Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the
disc.
Put the disc back in its case after use.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from
center to edge.

Cleaning the System

Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the
System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in
water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then
wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about
the following:

DO NOT wipe it hard.
DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
DO NOT apply any volatile substances such as
insecticides to it.
DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in
contact for a long time.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

Keep the CD pickup lens clean, or the sound may be
degraded. Use a blower (available at a camera store,
etc.) to blow dust off the lens.
