CARE AND HANDLING OF COMPACT DISC (continued)
5. Do not expose a disc to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. The disc material
will soften at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the disc to reach room temperature before playing if it
has been subjected to extreme cold.
6. Preventive cleaning is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Clean only when required.
7. Clean a disc with soft moistened cloth. Pat dry. Wipe the disc from the center out like spokes of a wheel.
Never wipe across a disc as you would an LP record.
8. Never use solvents, commercial cleaners or sprays designed for LP’s. Plain lukewarm water is best.
9. Keep discs protected at all times.
CASSETTE MAINTENANCE & SERVICE CLEANING
The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned from time to time to prevent buildup of tape oxide,
which degrades performance.
1. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl
alcohol or any solution specifically manufactured for this purpose.
Caution: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently
damage the heads.
2. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by
hand until the entire surface is clean.
3. Clean external case surface with a moist, soft cloth. use only a mild detergent water solution.
HEAD DEMAGNETIZATION
It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized from time to time. This eliminates residual magnet-
ism which degrades sound reproduction and the recording function.
1. After cleaning the heads capstan, place the demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit and
plug it into an AC outlet.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions supplied with the demagnetizer.
