CLEANING THE LASER LENS
It’s important that you periodically clean the laser lens, especially when dust or
fingerprints are evident. Not cleaning the laser lens can result in inferior sound
quality or no sound at all. To clean the lens, follow these directions:
1. Turn off the unit’s power and disconnect the AC power.
2. Open the disc compartment and remove the disc (if there is one).
3. Clean the lens with a soft brush or use an air blower brush designed for
cameras.
4. If you still are not able to remove dirt particles, moisten a cotton swab with
isopropyl alcohol and gently apply to the face of the laser lens, rubbing
gently until all traces of dirt are removed.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
To get the best possible sound from your compact discs, you need to keep them clean. Note the following guidelines regard-
ing the use and care of compact discs:
• Don’t touch the playing surface (the side without the label).
• Don’t store discs in places with high temperatures or high humidity—they can become warped.
• Don’t put tape or any other adhesives either side of the disc.
• Don’t use cleaners or anti-static sprays on discs, such as those used on conventional phonograph records.
• Always store each disk in its case and not in the CD player.
• Before playing a disc, wipe any dust or fingerprints from the playback surface with a soft cloth. Wipe from the hub to the
edge with a straight motion.
