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 center, along the  
radius.  
iPod will not charge. Wrong iPod adaptor is  
used.  
The iPod is not making full  
contact with the iPod  
connector.  
The main unit is in stand-by  
mode.  
Using 3rd generation iPod.  
Condensation  
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an  
extremely humid environment may cause condensation  
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 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.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player,  
preventative maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup  
lens) should be performed periodically. Lens cleaners are  
commercially available. Contact your local CD software  
dealer for options.  
If problem occurs  
When this product is subjected to strong external  
interference (mechanical shock, excessive static  
electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.)  
or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:  
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on  
again.  
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation,  
unplug and plug in the unit again, and then turn the  
power on.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted  
soap solution, then with a dry cloth.  
Caution:  
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint  
thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet.  
Note:  
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause  
malfunctions.  
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the  
memory by resetting it.
