CARE & MAINTENANCE
HANDLING THE COMPACT DISC
It's important that you periodically clean the laser lens:
1. Turn off the unit's power and disconnect the AC
power.
2. Open the CD door and remove the disc.
3. Clean the lens with a soft cloth or use an air blower
brush designed for cameras.
4. If you still are not able to remove dirt particles, moisten
a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and gently apply
to the face of the laser lens, rubbing gently until all
traces of dirt are removed.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• Do not touch the laser lens on the CD player.
• Temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the laser lens.
If condensation forms on the lens, leave the disc compartment door
open (without disc) for an hour to remove condensation.
• Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a car parked
in the sun) can cause damage or malfunction.
• To prevent dust from reaching internal parts, keep the compartment door
close when not using (except when necessary to remove condensation).
Laser lens
Although the music tracks in the disc are covered with a
protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc
carefully. Always pick up discs by the edge and put them
back in their holders immediately after use.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
• Should the CD door be opened before the reading of the CD is completed,
a jamming noise may occur. This can be resolved by closing the CD door
and then sliding the FUNCTION switch temporarily to TAPE.
• If an abnormal display indication or an operating problem occurs,
disconnect the AC power cord and remove the batteries. Wait at least 5
seconds, then reconnect the AC power cord or reinstall the batteries.
CLEANING THE UNIT
Do not use volatile chemicals on this unit. Clean by lightly wiping with a soft
