by only a qualified technician. 

Handling CDs

  Do not touch the signal 

surfaces. Hold CDs by the

and the hole. Do not affi x 
labels or adhesive tapes to 
the label surfaces. Do not

CDs rotate at high speeds 
inside the player. Do not 

use damaged (cracked or 
warped) CDs

Cleaning CDs

  Dirty CDs can cause poor 

sound quality. Always keep 

CDs clean by wiping them 
gently with a  soft cloth 

from the inner edge toward 
the outer perimeter.

  If a CD becomes dirty, wet a 

soft cloth in water, wring it 

out well, wipe the dirt away 

gently, and then remove any 
water drops with a dry cloth.

  Do not use record cleaning 

sprays or antistatic agents 
on CDs. Also, never clean 

CDs with benzene, thinner, 
or other volatile solvents 

which may cause damage to 
disc surface

CD Lens Care

When your CD lens gets dirty 
it can also cause the system to 

output poor sound quality. To 

clean the lens you will need 
to purchase a CD lens cleaner 
which can maintain the output 
sound quality of your system. 

For instructions on cleaning 

the CD lens, refer to the ones
