GENERAL INFORMATION
CD player and CD handling
• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly, use a commonly
available cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the set to
repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens.
• The lens of the CD player should never be touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
condensation to cloud over on the lens of your CD player.
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.
• Always keep the CD compartment closed to avoid dust on the
lens.
• 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 return
the CD to 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.
