● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.

● There must be sufficient room in front of the player for the

drawer to open.

● In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all

around the player for adequate ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or

humidity.

Maintenance

● When a disc becomes dirty, clean

it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not expose the player,

batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

● The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly

moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
