Disconnect the audio system from the power
source before performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust
cloth.
CD Player
CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It
must be opened by only a qualified technician.
Tape Player
To prevent deterioration of sound quality, period-
ically open the door of each deck and clean the
magnetic heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a
cotton bud dipped in alcohol. Also, demagnetize
the head by playing a demagnetizing cassette
(available through an audio equipment store).
To protect recordings one
or both sides of a tape,
remove the correspon-
ding tab. If you later
want to record on the
tape, affix a piece of adhesive tape over the hole.
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.
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
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.
