MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
SAFETY INFORMATION
Place the unit on a hard, flat and stable surface so that the system does not tilt.
Do not expose the unit, batteries, CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.
Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 15cm between the ventilation holes and surrounding
surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
The ventilation should be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as
newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc...
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia,
benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing.
CLEANING CDs
Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe away fingerprints or dust from the surface of the disc.
Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge. Very small dust particles and slight smudges
have absolutely no effect on the sound quality.
Never use chemical products such as sprays for conventional (vinyl) records, anti-static aerosols,
benzene or thinners to clean your CDs.
To reduce the risk of scratches, always store CDs in their case when not used.
Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high humidity or excessively high temperatures for long periods
of time.
Never write or affix labels to the CD's surfaces.
CLEANING THE LENS
If the lens is dirty, the sound may skip and the CD may not be read correctly. Open the CD door and clean
the lens as follows:
Unplug the power cord.
Dust or dry particles:
Blow on the lens several times using a camera lens brush, then wipe it gently with the brush to remove
the dust. Then blow again on the lens.
Fingerprints:
If you are unable to clean the lens with the camera lens brush, use a dry cotton swab to clean the
surface, from the center to the outside.
