HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the
following identification logo.
Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play
properly.
•
Dirty, scratched or warped discs
may cause skipping or noise.
•
Handle the disc only by the edges.
To keep clean, do not touch its
surface.
•
Discs should be stored in their
cases after use to avoid serious
scratches.
•
Do not expose disc to direct
sunlight, high humidity, high
temperature, dust, etc.
Prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can warp the disc.

instruments or the inks

damage its surface

as illustrated.
Caution:
Wait for the disc to stop rotating before
pressing the OPEN button.
Note: This unit can play 3” (8cm) single CDs without an adapter. Do not
use a CD single adapter for these discs.
CLEANING DISCS
Finger prints should be carefully wiped from
the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping them with a soft
cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in
a straight motion from the center to the edge.
Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or anti-static spray on a com-
pact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CABINET
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a
weak solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.
CLEANING THE LENS
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and if the lens is very dirty, the CD
may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as below:
• Dust or Dry Particles
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens several times
and wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Blow on the lens one
more time.
• Fingerprints
If the lens cannot be cleaned by using a brush/blower, use a dry
cotton swab starting from the middle and working to the outside edge.
