• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD

system turned on for about 2 hours until the
moisture evaporates.

On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement , locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets
are attached or used near the TV set, such as audio
racks, TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.
Notes on CDs
• Do not use a CD with tape, stickers, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use
solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for
vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
