MAINTENANCE AND CARE

To clean the CCD431 Personal CD player

• 

Ensure the unit is in standby.

• 

Wipe the case with a slightly moist, lint-free cloth.  

• 

Do not use any cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. 

• 

Do not spray an aerosol at or near the unit. 

• 

Do not allow liquids to spill or objects to drop into any openings.

• 

Always use original packaging if it is necessary to transport the unit at any time. 

 If this unit is used in a dusty environment, it may be necessary to have the unit serviced 

   at your local dealer periodically. 

 It is not advisable to allow large deposits of dust to accumulate within the unit as it may 

   prevent adequate cooling. Similarly dust deposits which become damp can sometimes 
   lead to electrical problems which may cause severe damage to the delicate electronics 
   within this unit.

Handling Discs

To remove the disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift 
the disc out. Hold it carefully by the edges as shown below

Insert the disc into the unit with the label of the disc facing UP. Gently wipe the disc using 

a soft cloth from the centre to the outer direction to remove dust, fingerprints or any other 

particles on the disc surface. Never use chemicals, such as record sprays, anti-static 
sprays, benzene or thinners to clean the CD. These chemicals can damage the disc 
surface permanently.
To avoid serious scratches on CD, keep them in the cases after each use. Scratches can 
cause the laser pick-up skip in the future play. Do not place stickers or write anything on 
the disc.
