CLEANING
CDs
Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with
a dry cloth.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discswith
benzene, thinner,
or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
TAPE CARE
Don't expose tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or damage
the tape itself.
Keep cassettes in their boxes when not in use.
Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical
transformers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.
CLEANING
THE TAPE HEADS
Iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape can build up on the parts that come in contact with the
tape. These deposits c.an cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent

allow 30 minutes drying time when using a liquid
cleaner.
