Cassette Tape Player (Option):
With the radio turned on, insert a tape into the cassette
door. The cassette symbol will appear in the upper left
corner of the display. While the tape is playing, an arrow
will appear next to the cassette symbol to indicate that
the top or bottom of the tape is playing. Once the tape is
playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE, TREBLE and
BASS just as you would for the radio.
Your tape player will automatically adjust the
equalization for high bias (metal and Cr02) tapes.
Your tape player is designed to work best with tapes that
are
30 to 46 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that may not work well in this tape player.
If Cln (Clean) appears on the display when you insert
your cassette tape, your cassette player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play cassette tapes, but it should be
cleaned to prevent damage
to your cassette tapes and the
cassette tape player. See “Cassette Tape Player Care”
later in this section. After you have cleaned the cassette
tape player, press and hold EJECT for five seconds
to
reset the Cln indicator. The radio will display “---” to
show that the clean feature has been reset.

Cassette Tape and CD Errors
If “E” and a number appears in the radio display, an
error has occurred and the cassette or compact disc
cannot play temporarily.
If the error occurred while trying to play a cassette tape,
the following conditions may have caused the error:
The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot
turn the hubs of the cassette tape. “E10” may
be displayed.
Hold the cassette with the open end
down and try turning the right hub
counter-clockwise
with a pencil. Flip the tiq% dmr
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your
cassette tape may be damaged and should not be
used
in the cassette player. Try a new tape to make
sure that your cassette player is working properly.
The cassette tape is broken. “El 1” may be displayed.
Check to see if your tape is broken.
Try a new
cassette tape.
If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
radio or in the
CD changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road is smoother.
0 The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If any error oc’curs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, please contact your dealer.
If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM Stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or
hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to
come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for Fpv3[,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other.
AM can also
pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
To lower this noise,
try reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to receive C-Qum@
stereo broadcasts. Many AM stations around the country
use C-Quam
to produce stereo, though some do not.
C-Quam@
is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc. If
your Delco system can get C-Quam signals, your stereo
indicator light will come on when you are receiving it.
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:
0 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.

Cassette Tape Player Care
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes that are not stored in their
plastic cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight,
and extreme heat may not operate properly or may cause
premature 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 and that the tape player
is clean
before you have your tape player serviced.
Your tape player should be cleaned each month or after
every
50 hours of use to provide optimum performance.
Your mdio may display Cln to remind you that you have
used your tape player for 50 hours without re-setting the
tape clean timer.
If you notice a reduction in sound
quality, regardless
of when the tape player was last
cleaned, try playing a different cassette tape to see
if the
tape or tape player is at fault. If the second cassette tape
results in no improvement
in sound quality, try cleanine
the tape player. Proper
tape player cleaning should be done with a
scrubbing-action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This
is
a wet-type cleaning system that 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 display an error and eject
the
cartridge. This is normal and is the result of an added
feature in the tape player that detects broken tapes. If an
error message is displayed while cleaning, you
will need
to insert the cleaning cassette at least three times to
thoroughly clean the tape player.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner. This type of cleaner uses
a cassette with a fabric
belt which cleans the tape head. This type
of cleaning
cassette will not cause an error, but it may not clean the
tape player as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
Cleaning cassettes are available in most stores that sell
audio products or from your General Motors dealer.
Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning
cassette.
Please note that cassette tape adapter kits for portable
CD players will not work in your cassette player. These
adapters will cause the radio to display an error and the
adapter cassette will be ejected.
