treated with reasonable care, wiping off the disc with a soft cloth
should be the only maintenance needed to retain its excellent sound
reproduction. Discs should be retained in their original case during
periods of non-use.

2. Handle a disc only by its edges; do not touch the surface or rainbow-

colored side of the disc. Never touch the shiny unlabelled side of
the disc by your fingers.

3. Use a soft cloth to wipe a disc clean. Do not use benzene, thinner,

or other chemical cleaners to clean the disc as damage may result.
A disc should always be wiped in a straight line from its center to
its edge. Never wipe a disc in a circular motion.

4. Do not expose a disc to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high

temperatures for extended periods of time. Do not place the disc
on other equipment or near any heat source.

5. Dust on the pickup lens can lead to erratic operation and interruption

of the sound during disc playing. To clean the pickup lens, open
the disc compartment and blow the dust off by using a camera lens
blower (available at most camera stores).

6. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, ensure that the unit is

unplugged from the AC power supply when cleaning it. To clean
the CD player cabinet, use a soft and damp cloth to wipe off the
exterior surface.
