unplug the power cord from the AC power
outlet.  Wipe the exterior with a soft, clean,
and slightly water-dampened cloth.

CD Care

Handling CDs

Always handle CDs by their edges or hold it
with your index finger in the hole and a
thumb at one edge.  Do not put your finger
pads onto the signal (shiny) side of a disc.

 The label side of a disc should be left as is;
should not affix any adhesive tapes or labels,
not should there be any scratching or
damage done to it.

Never use any damaged (such as cracked or
warped) discs as the system spins CDs at very
high speed.

Cleaning CDs

CDs need to be cleaned regularly because
any dust or foreign particles may cause the
system to output poor sound quality.  To
clean a CD, use a soft clean cloth to wipe
the CD from the hole (at the centre of the
disc) outwards to the disc’s edge.

 If a CD is particularly dirty, wet a soft cloth
in clean water, wring it out to rid the cloth
of excess water, gently wipe away the dirt.
Use another dry cloth to soak up remaining
water droplets.

Cleaning liquids other than clean water can
damage a CD.  Never use cleaning sprays,
antistatic agents, benzene, thinner, or any
other volatile solvents to clean CDs.

CD Lens Care

When your CD lens gets dirty it can also
cause the system to output poor sound
quality.  To clean the lens you will need to
purchase a CD lens cleaner which can
maintain the output sound quality of your
system.  For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the
lens cleaner.
