CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
D
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle your
cassette 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,
inconsistent playing speed,
constant auto−reversing. They can also
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
D
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged 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 play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes 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
outside the unit. Be sure to operate
the player correctly.
