Maintenance  
Disconnect the audio system from the power  
source before performing any maintenance.  
Cleaning CDs  
EN  
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always  
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a  
soft cloth from the inner edge toward the  
outer perimeter.  
If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,  
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently,  
and then remove any water drops with a dry  
cloth.  
Cleaning  
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust  
cloth.

Handling CDs  
CD Lens Care  
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by  
the edges, or by one edge and the hole.  
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the  
label surfaces.  
• Do not scratch or damage the label.

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.
