Maintenance & safety
CD player and CD handling
•
If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
•
The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
•
Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation 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 close the CD-tape door to avoid dust
on the lens.
•
To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center 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.
Tape deck maintenance

the tape deck, clean parts A, B and C as
