Maintenance and Cleaning
● Do not expose the receiver, batteries, or discs to humidi-
ty, rain, sand, or excessive heat (from devices or direct
sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid get-
ting dust on the lens.
● Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth,
wiping from the center to the edge in
a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc
in a circular motion.
● Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially-available clean-
ers, or anti-static spray intended for
analog discs.
● If the CD player cannot read Discs correctly, use an
accessory cleaning CD to clean the lens. Other cleaning
methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray
closed to prevent dust from gathering on the lens.
● The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the CD
player from cold to warm room conditions. If lens cloud-
ing occurs, you may not be able to play a disc. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the unit
until playback is possible
● To ensure good
recording and play-
back quality, clean the
heads, the capstan(s),
and roller(s) after
every 50 hours of
tape operation. Use a
cotton swab slightly
moistened with clean-
ing fluid or alcohol.
You also can clean the heads by playing a cleaning tape
once.
● To ensure optimal recording and playback quality, use a
demagnetizing tape available at your dealer.
