Care and maintenance
Cleaning external surfaces
To clean the compact disc recorder, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts
water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to
wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as
benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces.
Moving the unit
If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug
from the wall outlet.
Never lift or move the unit
during playback or recording
—the disc rotates at a
high speed and may be damaged.
Storing optical cable
When storing optical cable, coil loosly as
shown at right. The cable may be
damaged if bent around sharp corners.
Putting the batteries in the remote control
• Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off.
• Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with the markings inside the
compartment.
• Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.
Caution!
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:
• Don’t mix new and old batteries together
• Don’t use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar, different batteries may have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that
apply in your country or area.
Wipe lightly from the
center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc
surface using circular
strokes.
Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into
a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room
rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the
player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this
reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer tempera-
ture for about an hour before switching on and using.
Handling discs
When holding CDs of any type, take care not to leave
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc
by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty
discs can affect playback and/or recording performance. Take
care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not
as fragile as the recording side, scratches can still result in a
disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the
center to the outside edge. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in
alcohol, or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to clean
a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other
cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning
vinyl records.
