CD LENS CLEANER The changer's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. RadioShack offers cleaning kits for CD lens. CLEANING AND HANDLING COMPACT DISCS • Fingerprints or smudges on a CD's surface might not directly affect the recorded signals, but might cause degradation of sound quality. Keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery. RadioShack offers a variety of cleaning kits for CDs. • If a disc becomes very dirty, wipe the dirt away gently with a soft cloth moistened in water, removing any water drops with another soft, dry cloth. • When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole. • Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label. • Discs rotate at high speed inside the changer. Do not use damaged, cracked, or warped discs. • Do not play a CD with other than a circular shape as malfunction might occur. • Do not use CD accessories such as stabilizer protection sheets, or protection rings as they might cause malfunction. • Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Do not clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, which might damage the disc. When transporting your changer, remove all discs from the rack. Turn off POWER, wait for OFF to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. Record cleaning sprays Thinner Benzene Your changer can play discs which display these marks. ' Notes: It may not be possible to play unfinalized discs which have very little recording time left on them. Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW disc means making a recorded disc playable on an ordinary CD changer. To play CD-RWs, the changer must be specifically compatible with CD-RW discs. 5
