Maintenance
•
Condensation
Sudden
temperature
changes,
storage
or operation
in an extremely
humid
environment
may cause condensation
inside
the cabinet
(CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter
on the remote
control.
Condensation
can cause
the unit to malfunction.
If this
happens,
leave the power
on with no disc (or cassette)
in the unit until normal
playback
is possible
(about
I hour).
Wipe
off any condensation
on
the transmitter
with a soft cloth before operating
the unit.
•
Before transporting
the unit
Remove
all CDs from the unit. Make sure there
is no CD in the disc
tray. Then,
set the unit to the power
stand-by
mode.
Carrying
the
unit with discs left inside
can damage
the unit.
•
Care of compact discs
Compact
discs
are fairly
resistant
to damage,
however
mistracking
can occur
due to an accumulation
of dirt on the disc surface.
Follow
the guidelines
below
for maximum
enjoyment
from your CD collec-
tion and player.
•
Do not write
on either side of the disc, particularly
the non-label
side from which
signals
are read. Do not mark this surface.
•
Keep your
discs
away from direct
sunlight,
heat, and excessive
moisture.
•
Always
hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints,
dirt, or water
on
the CDs can cause noise
or mistracking.
If a CD is dirty
or does
not play properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping
straight
out
from the center,
along the radius.

Cleaning the tape-handling
parts
•
Dirty heads,
capstans
or pinch rollers
can cause poor sound and
tape jams.
Clean these
parts with a cotton
swab moistened
with
commercial
head/pinch
roller cleaner
or isopropyl
alcohol.
•
When
cleaning
the
heads,
pinch
rollers,
etc.,
unplug
the
unit
which contains
high voltages.

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.
•
Cleaning the CD pickup lens
In order to ensure
proper
operation
of the CD player,
preventative
maintenance
(cleaning
of the
laser
pickup
tens)
should
be
per-
formed
periodically.
Lens cleaners
are commercially
available.
Con-
tact your local CD software
dealer
for options.
•
Cleaning
the cabinet
Periodically
wipe
the cabinet
with
a soft cloth
and a diluted
soap
solution,
then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
•
Do not use chemicals
for cleaning
(gasoline,
paint thinner,
etc.). It
may damage
the cabinet
finish.
•
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
