Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Compact Discs
• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with
this System. However, continued use of irregular
shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can
damage the System.
• Remove the CD from its case by holding it at the
edges while pressing the case’s center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or
bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent
warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD
when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does
become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs
and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the System’s door closed when not in use.
Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade
sound.
Open the door and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the
lens.
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a
cotton swab.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in
the following cases:
•
After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a
warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this
case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates, unplug the AC adaptor, and then
plug it in again.
Cassette Tapes
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by inserting
a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not store the tape:
-
In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In moist areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette Deck
• If the heads, capstans, or pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck
become dirty, the following may occur:
-
Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
- Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab
moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the System will produce noise
or lose high frequency notes.
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the System, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
