The SKIP and REPEAT
NOTE:
functions use silent periods on the
tape to find the end of a song or
passage. These features may not
work if there is almost no gap
between selection, a high noise level,
or a silent period in the middle of a
selection.
Caring for the Player and Tapes
The tape player picks up dirt and
oxides from the tape. This
contamination build up over time and
causes the sound quality to degrade.
To prevent this, you should clean the
player after every 30 hours of use.
If you do not clean the tape player
regularly, it may eventually become
impossible to remove the
contamination with a normal
cleaning kit. Your Acura dealer has a
cleaning kit available.
Playing a Tape
Use 100-minute or shorter tapes.
Tapes longer than that may break or
jam the drive.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning the hub with a pencil or your
finger. If the label is peeling off,
remove it or it could cause the tape
to jam in the player. Never try to
insert a warped or damaged tape in
the player.
Store tapes in their cases to protect
them from dust and moisture. Never
place tapes where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, high heat,
or high humidity. If a tape is exposed
to extreme heat or cold, let it reach a
moderate temperature before
inserting it into the player.
Never try to insert foreign object
into the tape player.
