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.
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. Your
tape player should be cleaned
after every
50 hours of use for best
performance. If you notice a reduction in
sound quality, regardless of when the tape
player was last cleaned, 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
scrubbing-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette. This wet-type cleaning system
uses a cleaning cassette with pads which
scrub the tape head as the hubs of the
cleaner cassette turn.
If you use this type
of cleaner, the radio
may eject the cartridge. This is normal,
and is the result of a feature in the tape
player that ejects broken tapes. If this
happens, you will need to insert the
cleaning cassette three times to
thoroughly clean
the tape player.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing
action wet-type cleaner. This type of cleaning cassette, which uses a fabric belt
to clean the tape head, will not be ejected
but may not clean the tape player as
thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner. Whichever method you choose, follow
the
instructions provided with the
cleaning cassette. Cleaning cassettes are
available in most stores that sell audio
products. A scrubbing action cleaning
cassette is available from your dealer
(GM Part No. 12344600).
