Maintenance
" Cleaning the CD pickup lens
" Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
! Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.).
It may damage the cabinet finish.
! Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
" Cleaning the tape-handling parts
! Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
! When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc., unplug the unit which
contains high voltages.
! After long use, the deck's heads and capstan may become mag-
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.
" Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec-
tion and player.
! Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
! Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.
! Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the center, along the radius.
Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fin-
gerprints or dust accumulate on the
pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton
swab.
