Caring for the Cassette Player
The cassette drive picks up dirt and
oxides whenever you play a tape.
This builds up over time and causes
the sound quality to degrade. To
prevent this, you should clean the
cassette drive after every 30 hours of
use. Your dealer has a cleaning kit
available for this purpose.

To remind you, a small red light
labelled CLEAN comes on every 50
hours of tape use. If you are already
regularly cleaning the tape drive at
least every 30 hours, simply push the
CLEAN light for five seconds to turn
it off.
If you do not clean the cassette drive
regularly, it may eventually become
impossible to remove the deposits
with a normal cleaning kit.
The cassette player automatically
ejects cassettes that do not play
normally. If it ejects a cassette before
it begins to play, it is probably
defective and should not be inserted
again. You may have a cassette
suddenly stop playing, reverse
directions once or twice and then
eject. This is normally an indication
the tape is wound unevenly. It should
play normally after being manually
rewound.
Audio System
Use 100-minute or shorter cassettes.
Cassettes longer than 100 minutes
use thinner tape that may break or
jam the drive.
Look at a cassette before you insert
it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning one of the hubs with a pencil
or your finger. If the label is peeling
off, do not put it in the player.
It may cause the cassette to jam in
the drive mechanism when you try to
eject it.
Do not leave cassettes sitting where
they are exposed to high heat or
humidity, such as on top of the
dashboard or in the player.
If a cassette is exposed to extreme
heat or cold, let it reach a moderate
temperature before putting it in the
player.
