avoid this do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moder-
ate levels.
"
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on
the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on
with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the
unit.
"
Care of compact discs
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.
!
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.
!
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 centre, along the radius.
