To keep the laser pickup clean , do not touch it , and do not forget to close the disc tray .

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish . Use a clean , dry cloth .

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference .

Beware of Condensation

When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a sudden temperature change , there is the danger of condensation . Water vapor in the air could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup . If droplets of water form on these parts , correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from the disc correctly . To prevent this , if you are going to use the player in a condition where condensation could occur , you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation . If this is done , the player will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings .
