touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation to
form and the lens of your CD player to
cloud over. Playing a CD is then not
possible. Do not attempt to clean the lens
but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
• Use only Digital Audio CDs.
• Always close the CD door to keep the CD
compartment dust-free.To clean, dust the
compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• To take a CD out of its box, press the
centre spindle while lifting the CD. Always
pick up the CD by the edge and replace
the CD back in its box after use to avoid
scratching and dust.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the centre towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
