Care and Maintenance
Disconnect the audio system from the power source before per-
forming any maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust cloth.
The player
CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It must be opened
by only a qualified technician.
• Never move the player during playback.
• Never put more than one discs on a tray or put a disc
slipping out of the guide area.
Handling discs
• Do not touch the signal
surfaces.
• Hold discs by the edges,
or by one edge and the
hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.
• Do not scratch or damage the label. Discs rotate at high
speeds inside the player.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning discs
• Dirty discs can cause poor
sound and visual quality.
Always keep discs clean by
wiping them gently with a
soft cloth from the inner
edge toward the outer perimeter. Never wipe the disc in a circu-
lar motion since circular scratches are likely to occur and could
cause noise during playback.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out
well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water
drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs.
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents which may cause damage to disc surface
Disc lens care
• When your disc lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to
output poor sound and visual quality. To clean the lens you will
need to purchase a disc lens cleaner which can maintain the
output sound and visual quality of your
system. For instructions on cleaning the disc lens, refer to the
ones accompanying the lens cleaner.
Important battery information
• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not use your
remote control for more than one month.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries may
cause skin burns or other personal injuries.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to
provincial and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different bat-
tery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced
at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made
to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
Safety precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs
or internal adjustments should be made only by a trained tech-
nician.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters
the player cabinet, take the player to a trained technician for
inspection.
• This player uses a laser to read the data on the disc. The laser
mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a record
player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens,
it is completely safe when operated according to directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use dam-
aged, warped, or cracked discs.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the disc
compartment. Also, to keep dust from collecting on the pick-
up lens do not leave the compartment door open for an
extended period of time. If the lens becomes dirty, clean it with
a soft brush, or use an air blower brush designed for camera
lenses.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Headset safety
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts
warn against extended high-volume play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or dis-
continue use.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue
use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you
hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you
are unable to hear what is around you.
