Playing a Compact Disc
With the radio on, insert a disc into the CD slot, label
side up. The player will pull it in. The disc should begin
playing.
A CD symbol is shown in the center of the
graphic display whenever a disc is inserted.
Don’t use the smaller discs (three-inch singles). They
won’t eject. Use full-size compact discs.
If you’re driving on a very rough road or if
it’s very hot,
the disc may not play and Err (error) may appear
on the
display. Press
RECALL to take Err off the display.
When things get back to normal, the disc should play.
If the disc comes out, it could be that:
The disc is upside down. The player will not pull the
disc in.
It is dirty, scratched or wet.
It is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour and try again.) While
the CD is playing, use the VOLUME, FADE,
BAL, TREB, BASS and TONE controls just as you
do for the radio. The CD player automatically begins
playing again when it reaches the end
of the disc.
A disc that has been ejected but is still sitting in the
CD player will be pulled back into the player after
approximately
30 seconds. This protects the disc and
player from damage. The disc will not start playing. To
remove the disc, press the
EJECT button and remove the
disc from the player.
REV (TUNE): Press and hold the left arrows to reverse
rapidly within
a track. Release it to resume playing.
FWD (TUNE): Press and hold the right arrows
to advance rapidly within a track. Release it to
resume playing.
TRACK (SEEK): Press the left arrow to go to the
start of the current track if more than eight seconds
have played.
If you hold the button or press it more than
once, the player will continue moving back through the
disc. Press the right arrow to go to the start of the next
track if more than eight seconds have played.
If you
hold the button or press it more than once, the player
will continue moving forward through the disc.

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 Electronics radio or
other systems, and even damage them. 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.
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 may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after
every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display
CLEAN to indicate that you have used your tape player
for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If
this message appears on the display, your cassette tape
player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but
you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent
damage to your tapes and player.
If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette
to see if it is the tape or the tape player at fault.
If this
other cassette has no improvement in sound quality,
clean the tape player.
The recommended cleaning method for your
cassette tape player
is the use of a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
The recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealership
(GM Part No. 12344789).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When using a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, it is normal for the cassette to eject because
your unit is equipped with a cut tape detection feature
and
a cleaning cassette may appear as a broken tape. To
prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use the
following steps.
1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE button for five seconds.
The tape symbol
on the display will flash for
two seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning time.
When the cleaning cassette has been ejected, the cut
tape detection feature is active again. 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 on its own.
A non-scrubbing action cleaner may
not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The
use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.
After you clean the player, press and hold
EJECT for
five seconds to reset the CLEAN indicator.
The radio
will display
--- to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality
may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette
tape is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
