CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cassette
player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regular-
ly.
D A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet
type is recommended.)
Use high–quality cassettes.
D Low–quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound, in-
consistent playing speed, and constant
auto–reversing. They can also get stuck
or tangled in the cassette player.
D Do not use a cassette if it has been dam-
aged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.
D Do not leave a cassette in the player if you
are not listening to it, especially if it is hot
outside.
D Store cassettes in their cases and out of
direct sunlight.

D Avoid using cassettes with a total playing
time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes
per side). The tape used in these cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.
CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
D Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
D Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning to
cool the vehicle interior before you listen
to a disc.
D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
D If moisture gets into your compact disc
player, you may not hear any sound even
though your compact disc player appears
to be working. Remove the disc from the
player and wait until it dries.

CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible
laser beam which could cause hazard-
ous radiation exposure if directed out-
side the unit. Be sure to operate the
player correctly.
