All polished metal parts on your CD player are un-lacquered. These metal parts will in
time lack lustre due to oxidisation. They can easily be restored to original condition by
using a mild metal polish (such as duraglit) and a soft polishing cloth. Do not clean the
units with water as this smears the surface and can leave water marks. Anodised parts such
as the front panel & painted parts such as the top & bottom cover are best cleaned with a
damp cloth then buffed with a dry cloth.
The Fusion utilises 2 x 6922/ECC88/6DJ8 vacuum tubes in it's analogue output stage. The
life span of these devices is approx. 8000 operating hours after which time they should be
replaced, ensuring the unit is operating at it's maximum performance. If this time is
exceeded there is NO danger to the unit.
This unit has been designed to play compact discs bearing the identification logo as pictured
in the left margin. No other discs can be played.
1. Always place the compact disc in the disc tray with the label facing upward. Compact
discs can only be played on one side only.
2. CDs are still fragile items and can easily be scratched. Return discs back to their cases
after use.
3. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures for extended
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
4. Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
Finger prints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's signal surface (glossy side)
with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion, from inside to outside of the disc. Small dust
particles and light stains should not impair quality, but deep scratches will effect
performance or even be un-playable.
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to
clean compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the discs plastic surface.
