at
a specific passage.

Press the PWR button or turn the ignition key off to stop
the disc player. The disc stays in the player and will
resume playing at the point where it stopped.
EJECT
Press EJCT, the disc will eject and the radio will play.
The disc will start at track
1 when you reinsert it.
As a feature to protect the disc,
if you turn the ignition off
with the disc partway out of the slot (after eject), it will be
drawn back into the player in about 30 seconds. The disc
will play at track
1 when the radio is turned on again.
Anti-Theft Feature
Delco-Loc I1 is a security feature for the compact disc
player. It can be used or ignored.
If ignored, the system
plays normally. If it is used, your player won’t be usable
if it’s ever stolen, because it won’t turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to enter your
personal secret code into the system. If your vehicle loses
battery power for any reason, you must unlock the system
with the secret code again before the system will
turn on.
Be sure to read through the entire procedure and become
familiar with
the appropriate buttons and knobs before
starting.
Step
1. Write clown any 6-digit number and keep it in a
safe place. Step
2. Turn
the ignition to the ACC or RUN position.
Step
3. Press PWR to turn the radio off.
Step 4. Press preset 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them
until
“---” shows on the display (at least 5 seconds).
You are now ready to enter your secret code. If you
pause more than
15 seconds between steps you may
have to start over.
Step
5. Press SET and “000” will appear on the display.
Step 6. Press SEEK and hold
it until the first digit of
your code appears.
Step 7. Rotate the tune knob right or left to make the
next two numbers agree
with your code.
Step
8. Press AM-FM knob and “000” will appear. Now
you are ready to enter the second three digits of the code
according to steps
6 and 7.
Step 9. Press the AM-FM knob. The display will show
“rEP” for
5 seconds, and then “OOO” will appear indicating
that some steps are to
be repeated for verification.
Step
10. Repeat steps 6,7, and 8.
Step 11. Press the AM-FM knob. If the display shows
“SEC”, the verification process was successful and the
system
is SECURE. If the display shows “---”, the
verification steps were not successful and the entire
sequence must be started again.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or cause failure
of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each
month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to
see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette, and follow the directions
provided with it.
Cassettes
are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is
in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If
the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
