o Never leave a cassette inserted in the
player when not being played. This could
damage the tape player unit and the cas-
sette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the use of
tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).
Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin
and do not perform as well in the automotive
environment.
o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose
or peeling off or tape ejection may be
difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape
surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-
tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the
open side facing down to prevent dust from
settling in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-
play one given tune or tape section. This
can cause poor tape winding to occur, and
eventually cause excessive internal drag
and poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected
by fast winding the tape from end to end
several times. If this does not correct the
problem, do not continue to use the tape in
your vehicle.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch
rollers will develop a coating of tape residue
that can result in deterioration of sound
quality, such as a wavering sound. They
should be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning tape or
special solution available from audio spe-
cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc-
tions carefully and never oil any part of the
tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting in the
player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock-
ets to wind up any slack.
NOTE:
Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape
is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs

cause the tape to jam in the drive mechanism
when you try to eject it.
Do not leave tape sitting where they are ex-
posed to high temperatures or, high humidity,
such as on top of the dashboard or in the
player. If a tape is excessively hot or cold, let
it reach a moderate temperature before
putting it in the player.
