Cassettes
• To protect your
recordings from accidental
erasure on one or both
sides of your cassette, snap
out the tab at the top of the
cassette. If you decide later to
record on the tape, seal the
hole with a piece of adhesive
tape. (Refer to diagram on the right)
• Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack
in your tapes can cause scratches on
the tape, or worse yet, the tape
could break. If you notice some slack
in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.
Cleaning the exterior
• Disconnect the system from AC power before
cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft
dust cloth
• Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or
slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT use
solvents as it may cause damage to the unit.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by
the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the
label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the
label.
• CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player.
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs
• Make sure CDs are stored in their original case
after use. Keep them away from damp, humid
or abnormally heated places.
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
accompanying the lens cleaner.
