CARE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) Caring for Compact Discs • Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the com- pact disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc. • Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label. • Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit. • If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched). • When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions. • This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly. • Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage. • Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc. • Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface. Cleaning the Unit • 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 fur- niture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts. • Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel. • Periodic cleaning of the tape heads, capstan and pinch roller is necessary to maintain good sound reproduction. Clean them R/P Pinch Roller Head Erase Head after every 100 hours of use or less if play- back has deteriorated. Use a cotton swab moistened with head-cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol, then wipe dry with Capstan another swab. Cotton Swab NOTE: Never use metal objects on or near the tape heads.
