MAINTENANCE OF TAPE PLAYER
Head Cleaning
Using a moist±type cleaning tape, clean the head surface, pinch rolle\
rs and capstans.
COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Compact Disc (hereafter called ºCDº) players use a laser beam pick±up\
to read the digital signals recorded
on the CD and reproduce analog signals of the music, etc. There are 4.7 in\
. (12 cm) and 3.2 in. (8 cm) CD
available, but it is recommended that you do not use 3.2 in. (8 cm) discs in the\
CD auto changer.
HINT: Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not\
insert any object other than
a disc into the magagine.
NOTICE: CD players use on invisible laser laser beam which could cause hazardou\
s radiation expo-
sure. Be sure to operate the player correctly as instructed.

w Check the wire harness between the radio receiver
assembly and the CD auto changer in accordance with
the wiring diagrams in BE±201, 203.
w Since the signals to and from the CDL+, CDL, CDR+,
CDR, TXM+, TXM, TXS+ and TXS terminals are serial
signals, they cannot ordinarily be measured with a
tester.
