MAINTENANCE
Handling compact discs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc (reflective silver side — the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the
sound will not be picked up correctly and, in addition, such a
disc may cause the CD player to malfunction.
Handiing cassette tapes
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any
adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled
one on top of another without their protective cases, they can
be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe it with a cloth moistened with
water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti­
static agents.
- CAUTION---------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the System.
DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional record
cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean the disc.
If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up
the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the
reels and rotating.
if the tape is loose, it may get stretched,
cut, or caught in the cassette.
Be careful not to touch the tape surface.
Avoid the following places to store the
tape:
— In dusty places
— In direct sunlight or heat
— In moist areas
— Near a magnet
Cassette decks

become dirty, the following will occur;
• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers
