Caring for the Cassette Player
The cassette player picks up dirt and
oxides from the tape. This contami-
nation builds up over time and
causes the sound quality to degrade.
To prevent this, you should clean the
player after every 30 hours of use.
Your dealer has a cleaning kit
available.
As a reminder, after every 30 hours
of use the system will flash CLEAN
in the display for 5 seconds every
time you insert a cassette in the
player. After you clean the player,
reset the CLEAN indicator by
pressing the Reset button while
playing a tape. Hold the button until
you hear a beep and the indicator
goes out.
If you do not clean the cassette
player regularly, it may eventually
become impossible to remove the
contamination with a normal
cleaning kit.

CLEAN INDICATOR
Use 100-minute or shorter cassettes.
Cassettes longer than that use
thinner tape that may break or jam
the drive.
Look at the cassette before you
insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten
it by turning a hub with a pencil or
your finger.
If the label is peeling off, remove it
from the cassette or it could cause
the cassette to jam in the player.
Never try to insert a warped or
damaged cassette in the player.
The player automatically ejects
cassettes that do not play properly. 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 after the
tape is manually rewound.

When they are not in use, store
cassettes in their cases to protect
them from dust and moisture. Never
place cassettes where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, high heat,
or high humidity. If a cassette is
exposed to extreme heat or cold, let
it reach a moderate temperature
before inserting it in the player.
Never try to insert foreign objects
into the cassette player.
