CD Lens Care

When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the system
to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens you will
need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can maintain
the output sound quality of your system. For instructions
on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying
the lens cleaner.

Cassette Player

To prevent deterioration of sound quality, periodically
open the door of each deck and clean the magnetic
heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton bud
dipped in alcohol. Also, demagnetize the head by play-
ing a demagnetizing cassette (available through an
audio equipment store).
To protect recordings one or
both sides of a tape, remove
the corresponding tab. If you
later want to record on the
tape, affix a piece of adhesive
tape over the hole.
Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack
in your tapes can cause scratches
on the tape, or worse yet, the
tape could break. If you notice
some slack in the tape, use a pen-
cil to tighten it up before you
insert it.

trolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted
incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same
time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
