Caution
Be patient while loading the disc. Never try to load the disc before the holder has opened fully. Never
try to close the drawer before you are certain the disc is properly seated in the recess of the holder. If the
machine tries to withdraw the holder with the disc only partially in place, it may ruin the disc. A disc
that is warped may interfere with drawer operation. Do not try to play a warped disc.
Maintaining Your C/DP-1000
Your C/DP-1000 is made to provide years of faithful service. You should keep it dusted, but never use
any abrasives, solvents or treated rags which could harm the surface. The acrylic window over the
function display is quite easy to scratch.
•
Try to avoid smoking nearby the player. The residue could easily get into the delicate optical parts.
•
The same precautions apply to the remote controller.
•
Since dust and dirt can cause problems, never turn off the C/DP-1000 with the disc drawer open.
Taking Care of Your Compact Discs
Be careful to handle discs only at their edges. For cleaning there are several CD cleaners available at
your Parasound dealer. Just remember to wipe gently from inside to out, never in a circular fashion as
you would an ordinary LP record. Never leave any discs lying around outside of their proper holders.
In Case of Difficulty
If you believe your unit is malfunctioning, please refer again to these instructions. It is quite easy to
confuse some of the programming functions until you become accustomed to them.
