Controls and features
Cleaning cassette player (if equipped)
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning
cartridge after ten to twelve hours of play in order
to maintain the best sound and operation.
Cassette and cassette player care
Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less.
Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high
humidity, extreme heat or extreme cold. Allow
tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or
pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a
long time when not being played.
Radio frequency information
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Communications (CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts.
Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.9, 88.1–107.1, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
Radio reception factors
Three factors can affect radio reception:
Distance/strength. The further an FM signal
travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of
the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by "signal
modulation." Signal modulation is a process radio
stations use to increase their strength/volume
relative to other stations.
