Caring for the Cassette Player
The cassette player picks up dirt and oxides from the tape. This contami-
nation builds up over time and
causes the sound quality to degrade.
To prevent this, you should clean the player after every 30 hours of use.
Your dealer has a cleaning kit
available.

If you do not clean the cassette
player regularly, it may eventually
become impossible to remove the contamination with a normal
cleaning kit.
Use 100-minute or shorter cassettes.Cassettes longer than that use
thinner tape that may break or jam
the drive. Look at the cassette before you
insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten
it by turning a hub with a pencil or
your finger. If the label is peeling off, remove it
from the cassette or it could cause the cassette to jam in the player.
Never try to insert a warped ordamaged cassette in the player.
When they are not in use, store cassettes in their cases to protect
them from dust and moisture. Never
place cassettes where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, high heat,
or high humidity. If a cassette is
exposed to extreme heat or cold, letit reach a moderate temperature
before inserting it in the player.
Never try to insert foreign objects
into the cassette player. If you see the error indication (except U.S. EX)/

(U.S.
EX) on the
display, press the EJECT button and
remove the cassette from the unit. Make sure the tape is not damaged.
If the cassette will not eject or the error indication stays on after the
cassette ejects, take the vehicle to
your Honda dealer.
If a problem develops in the connec-
tion between the cassette player and the radio, you will see in
the display. Take the vehicle to your
Honda dealer.
