Screwdrivers and other metal objects
should never be allowed to come in
contact with tape heads. These will
scratch the sensitive surface causing
damage to your tapes.
M a g n e ts o r m a g n e t i z e d o b j e c ts
should not be placed near tape
heads.
Although the music tracks in the disc are
covered with a protective layer, it is still
advisable to treat the disc carefully.
Ensure that you always pick up discs by
the edge, and put them back in their
holders immediately after use.
Cleaning will not normally be necessary.
However, should fingerprints, dust or
dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a
soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a
straight line from center to edge. You
can moisten the disc first with ordinary
tap water if necessary.
The player mechanism is fitted with self-
lubricating bearing and must not be
oiled or greased.
To prevent fire or shock hazard,
disconnect your stereo system
from the AC power plug when
cleaning.
