Caring for Compact Discs

Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its

edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact
with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the

disc label.

Clean the discs periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use

detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD
cleaning kit. If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably
dirty or damaged (scratched). When
cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines
from the centre of the disc to the outer
edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular
motions.

This unit is designed to play discs bearing the identification logo as

shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and
may not play properly.

Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or

dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the disc.

Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing

instruments or ink may damage the surface.

Caring of the Cabinet

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power

source when cleaning.

The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other

furniture. Be cautions when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.

To Clean the Lens

If the lens is dirty, your player may skip or may not play a CD

Open the CD door.
Use a camera lens blower/brush to blow on the lens once or twice, brush the

dust or particles off the lens then blow again.

To remove fingerprints, use a dry cotton swab to wipe from the middle to outer

edge of the lens.
