• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
CLEANING CDs
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc 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.

damage the tape itself.
• Keep cassette tapes in their boxes when not in use.
• Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical transform-
ers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.

• Demagnetize the head occasionally with a head demagnetizing cassette (available from many audio
equipment stores).
As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do not demagnetize it.
• Never use any metal objects on or near the tape heads.
• Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the tape assembly.
