WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?  
! CD Playback  
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on  
and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on  
energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in  
use. The new ENERGY STAR® labeled models will reduce that en-  
ergy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than  
$1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.

! Radio  
Listening to the radio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21, 22  
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the  
related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming.  
If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with  
ENERGY STAR® labeled models, it would reduce air pollution equiva-  
lent to eliminating more than two million cars.

By using ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on  
your electric bills and use less energy.  
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.

Maintenance  
XL-HP707  
! Cleaning the tape-handling parts  
! Condensation  
" Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and  
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with  
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.  
" When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit  
which contains high voltages.  
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely  
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD  
pickup, tape heads, 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 (or cassette) 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.

! Before transporting the unit  
Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc  
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the  
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.  
! 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 collec-  
tion 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.  
Pinch roller  
Capstan

Recording/Playback head  
" After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-  
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once  
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial  
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions  
carefully before use.  
" 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.  
! 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 per-  
formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-  
tact your local CD software dealer for options.

! 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 finish.  
" Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-  
tions.
