CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
COMPACT DISC CARE  
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves  
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
CARE OF THE CABINET  
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax,  
polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.  
CAUTION  
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
