CD CARE TIPS
Although a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom-
mend the following precautions.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you are not play-
ing it.
• Keep the CD clean. Your local
RadioShack store sells suitable
CD cleaner kits.
• Keep the CD dry. Even a single
drop of moisture can act as a lens
and affect the laser beam’s focus.
If the CD gets wet, wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth before playing it.
• Do not write on either side of a
CD, especially the non-label side.
• Handle the CD by its edge to
avoid fingerprints and surface
scratches that can prevent the
laser from accurately reading the
CD.
• Do not store CDs in high-tempera-
ture, high-humidity locations.
• Remove any loaded CD from the
CD player before moving the Sys-
tem 741 to prevent damaging the
CD.
• To repair scratches on the CD sur-
face, use a CD scratch repair kit
(such as “Scratch ’n Fix,” Cat. No.
42-127).
CD PLAYER CARE TIPS
• To avoid damaging the CD player,
do not place anything but a CD in
the CD drawer.
• Moving the CD player suddenly
from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the
pickup lens and disrupt operation.
If this happens, unplug the CD
player then wait about one hour
before plugging it back in and
playing the CD.
• If the System 741 is subjected to a
sudden shock or jolt during play,
the CD’s rotation speed might
suddenly change, and the music
might be briefly interrupted. This is
not a malfunction.
TAPE TIPS
Erasing a Cassette Tape
To erase a previously recorded section
of a tape, simply record over it. To
erase the entire cassette tape, let the
tape record to the end with no source
playing.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser
(such as Cat. No. 44-232, not sup-
plied), available at your local Ra-
dioShack store.
