Cleaning Your Mini-Compact

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:
Before cleaning it
If you are not going to be using it for a long time
Outer Casing
Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do not use
abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids get into the system.
Compact Disc Player
1
Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.
Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outwards.
2
Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
your local dealer).
Tape Decks
1
Press STOP/EJECT(
) to open the cassette deck.

Head (1)
Rollers (2)
Drive capstans (3)
If you will not be using the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.
Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).
If the unit emits an unpleasant odour when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.

Precautions When Using Compact
Discs
Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges
to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.
When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.
Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight,
where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked.

DIGITAL AUDIO
Precautions When Using Audio
Cassettes
Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety
tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the
tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.
Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they
will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on
the tape mechanism.
