CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We
recommend you keep this manual for general reference of the many features found in
this unit.
As with any cassette player, the cassette section of this sound system does require a
minimum of maintenance to keep it in good working condition. The following simple care
and maintenance suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the
cassette system.
Cassette Care:
1. Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store. Use it! At least every
20 to 30 hours of operation you must clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty
cassette player will have a poor sound.
2. Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on each side.
3. Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted or dirty or with loose or
torn labels on it.
4. Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing
conditions. If a cassette is cold, allow it to warm up before use.
5. Do not keep a cassette in the player when not in use.
6. Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the
reels.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of
sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
Use only compact discs with the mark:
Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny
side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended
periods.
Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type
of marker.
