other irregularly shaped CDs. The use of such
CDs damages the main unit.

caught in the inner part of
the main unit and damage
the main unit. Before
using a cassette tape,

Cleaning the main unit cabinet
• Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry
cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the
cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water,
wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabi-
net with the dampened cloth followed by a soft
dry cloth.
• Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or ben-
zenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause
discoloration of the cabinet or removal of the
paint. Do not spray insecticides or other highly
volatile agents onto the cabinet. Do not leave
pieces of rubber or plastic on the cabinet for a
long period.
