CARE AND MAINTENANCE
COMPACT DISCS
Treat compact discs carefully. Handle them only by their edges. Never allow your fingers to touch the
shiny, unlabelled side of the disc.
Do not put adhesive tape, stickers etc. on either side of a disc.
Clean discs periodically with soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean
discs. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
If a disc skips or gets stuck during playback it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
When cleaning a disc, wipe in straight lines from the centre of the disc to its edge. Never wipe in circular
motions.
When removing a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out,
holding it carefully by its edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded side with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust, so gently wiping with a piece of
soft cloth should remove most particles.
CLEANING THE UNIT
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, ensure that the unit is unplugged from the AC power supply
when cleaning it.
If the unit’s casing gets dusty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish
sprays on the unit.
If the unit’s casing gets dirty or smudged with fingerprints it can be cleaned with a soft cloth,
slightly damp with a mild soap and water. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these can
damage the casing.
CAUTION:
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
