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 9r may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN to indicate
that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without
resetting the
tape clean timer. 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 n\
o
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning.may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs
of the cleaner cassette turn.
It is normal for the cassette
to eject while cleaning
because your unit is equipped with a cut tape feature.
To temporarily override this feature (for one insertion),
turn the radio
off and press and hold TAPE AUX until
the tape symbol flashes on the display, then insert the
cassette again. Insert the cassette at least three times to
ensure thorough cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning
cassette is available through your
GM dealer.
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.
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.
