Care of compact discs  
iPod  
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.  
Symptom  
Possible cause  
No sound is produced.  
No image appears on the  
TV/monitor.  
The iPod is not playing.  
The iPod is not properly  
connected to the unit.  
Is the AC power cord of the unit  
plugged in?  
The video cable is not properly  
connected.  
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.  
The TV/monitor’s input selection is  
not properly set.  
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.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Condensation  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution,  
then with a dry cloth.  
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.  
Caution:  
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It  
may damage the cabinet.  
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
Before transporting the unit  
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.  
Remove the iPod, USB memory device and disc from the unit. Then, set  
the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with iPod or USB  
memory device left docked or discs left inside can damage the unit.
