If you are not going to be using it for a long time
Outer Casing

not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids
get into the system.
Compact Disc Player

Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning

remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.
Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be

shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).
If the unit emits an unpleasant odor 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 sun-
light, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked
COMPACT
.
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.
