PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood
preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave
marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your
furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads,
available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and
apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on
fine wooden furniture.

When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge
of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift
the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a
soft cloth. Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect
dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most
particles.
