SERVICE
CARE AND CLEANING
All care and cleaning operations should be carried out with the unit
unplugged from the mains power.
The surface of the unit can be cleaned with a barely damp cloth and then
dried carefully.
If your discs jump tracks, skip passages or do not play properly, this is
more likely to be caused by surface damage or dirt on the actual disc rather
than any fault of the unit. In extreme cases, however, these phenomena
could be due to dirt or dust on the lens.
If the player lens gets dusty or dirty, use a proprietary lens cleaner and
follow the instructions carefully.
Do NOT leave discs in the player when not in use.
