5.6 Player Maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CDS3 to ensure that
the surfaces of the transport platter and the underside of the
puck are free of dust or debris which can prevent the disc from
sitting properly and cause it to slip.
To clean the transport platter, take a piece of Blu-tack and
lightly apply it to the top surface of the magnetic metal hub,
picking up any material attached to it. Brush the plastic outer
edge lightly with your finger or a soft brush to ensure that it is
dust and particle free. Similarly, clean the puck with Blu-tack,
to remove debris from the three locating pins on its underside.
Take care not to damage the rubber pressure pads. Brush them
lightly with your finger or a soft cloth.
Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids for
the cleaning process.
