123 Station swapping±If the FM signal you are listening to is
interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original can be picked up again.
AM
Fading±AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere ± especially at night. These reflected signals
can interfere with those received directly from the radio
station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference±When a reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the
same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making
it difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static±AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightning, or eletrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For high performance from your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)Use high±quality cassettes:
Low±quality cassette tapes can cause many problems
including poor sound, inconsistant playing speed, and
constant auto±reversing. They can also getstuck or
tangled in the cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it had been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening
to it, especially if it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than
100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these
cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the
cassette player.

124Caring for your compact disc player and discs
Use only compact discs labeled as shown. The player is
intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep your compact disc
player from working. On hot days, use air conditioning to
cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact
disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not
hear any sound even though your compact disc player
appears to be working. Remove the magazine from the
player and wait until it dries.
Correct
Wrong
Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you set
them into the magazine. Hold them on the edge and do ot
bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints on them, particularly
on the shiny side.
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc damage
could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a
track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)
