ciency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid ex-  
posure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on  
with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening  
at high volumes.

Maintenance  
XL-UH240  
Troubleshooting chart (continued)  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
Before transporting the unit  
Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc  
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the  
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.  
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative  
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be  
performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available.  
Contact your local CD software dealer for options.  
Care of compact discs  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking  
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow  
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD  
collection and player.  
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 (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It  
may damage the cabinet finish.  
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label  
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive  
moisture.  
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause  
malfunctions.  
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on  
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does  
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out  
from the center, along the radius.
