Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly is subject to
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Tape cassettes that are not properly stored
in their plastic cases away from contaminants, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat may not operate properly and
could cause premature failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned after 50 hours of use.
If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette
to
see if the tape or the tape player is at
fault. If this other cassette has
no improvement in sound
quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This system uses a
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as
the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. A scrubbing action
cleaning cassette is available through your Chevrolet
dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. It may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always verify that the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have your tape player
serviced.
