Compact Disc Player (CD): Service and Repair

No maintenance is required to the compact disc player. When a disc is not in the CD player, it should be stored in it's protective container. Store discs away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.

For best results, apply the same care in storing and handling the compact disc as with conventional records. No further cleaning will be necessary if the compact disc is always held by the edges and replaced in it's case directly after playing. Should the compact disc become soiled by fingerprints, dirt, or dust, it can be wiped (always in a straight line, from center to edge) with a clean and lint-free soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvent or abrasive cleaner on the disc.
