the sockets AUX / VIDEO IN on the portable Karaoke
Machine.

Cleaning and care
Risk of potentially fatal electrical shock:
•
Never open the device housing. There are no user-serviceable
elements inside.
•
NEVER submerse the device or its components in water
or other fluids!
•
Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the housing.
Cleaning the housing:
>
Remove the power plug from the power socket beforehand.
Clean the housing surface with a slightly damp
cloth. Never use petrol, solvents or detergents that
can damage plastics!
Cleaning the tape transport mechanism
•
At regular intervals remove dust and cassette deposits from
the sound heads and tape guides. Contamination on the
sound heads impairs sound quality, both when recording
and on playback.
•
To clean the sound heads you should ideally use a com-
mercial head cleaning cassette. Do not touch the sound
heads with your fingers or hard objects, for example, a
screwdriver.
Cleaning the CD-Laser
Clean the laser at regular intervals.
•
•
To clean the laser you should use a
commercial cleaning CD.
Cleaning the monitor screen
•
The monitor screen is best cleaned with glass cleaners.
Cleaning CDs
•
For cleaning your CDs, use exclusively cleaning agents
permitted for CDs.
•
If need be, carefully wipe the CD with a soft and lint-free
cloth from the middle to the edge. When doing this, hold
the CD between the forefinger and the thumb of the other
hand. Touching the recorded side of the CD with the hand
could lead to problems with playback.
Troubleshooting

>
Is the plug of the power cable inserted firmly into the
