Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin that they may not
work well in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box,
it should say whether its bias,
or “equalization,” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120 p sec.
Your tape player
will adjust automatically for either type of cassette tape.
To Play a Cassette Tape
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Insert the cassette through the tape door. (The TAPE indicator in the
display will light.)
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, the cassette may not be
in squarely. Press the EJCT button to remove the tape and start over. The
tape equalization is automatically sensed and set. Inserting the cassette
also activates
DOLBY@ noise reduction.
DNR@ is the Dynamic Noise Reduction. It helps remove background hiss
noise from the radio.
*DNR@ is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor
Corporation.
3. Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs to adjust the
volume and balance, just as you do for the radio. Press the upper knob
to change tape direction. The arrow in the display shows which
direction the tape is being played.

Tips about Your Audio System
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions
by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important
to do
it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio
or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Care of Your Cassette Tape Pkyer
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
50 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.
Cleaning may be done
with a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette. This system uses a cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the
tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is normal for the
cartridge to eject
while cleaning. Insert the cassette at least three times to
ensure thorough cleaning. A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Cadillac dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which uses
a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaning
cassette
will not eject. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type
cleaner.
Cassette tapes 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.

6. Repeat if necessary.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication could damage it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off your radio to
make the power antenna

when you turn the radio

cleaned. In either case, lower the antenna by hand by carefully
pressing the antenna down.
