Before transporting the unit
Remove CD from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc compartment. Then, set the unit to
the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with disc left inside can damage the unit.
Compact discs care
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumula-
tion of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD
collection and player:
• Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are
read.
• Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
• Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or
mistracking. If a CD is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre,
along the radius.
Maintenance
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution!
• Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet.
• Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
Cleaning the lens and tape-handling parts
• Do not touch the laser pickup lens, if dirt or dust accumulate on the pickup; clean it gently with a
dry cotton swab.
• Dirty head, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with
a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
A - Laser head B - Pinch roller, C - Capstan, D - Record/play head, E - Erasing head.
• When cleaning the head, pinch roller, etc., unplug the unit (to avoid electrical shock).
• After long use, the deck’s head and capstan may become magnetized, causing poor sound.
Demagnetize these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer’s instructions carefully before use.
