The APS, Repeat, and Skip
functions use silent periods on the
tape to find the end of a song or
passage. These features may not work to your satisfaction if thereis almost no gap betweenselections, a high noise level
between selections, or a silent
period in the middle of a
selection.

Carin g fo r th e Cassett e Playe r

The cassette player picks up dirt
and oxides from the tape. This
contamination 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 a cassette before youinsert it. If the tape is loose,
tighten it by turning one of the
hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, removeit from the cassette or it could
cause the cassette to jam in the
player. Never try to insert a
warped or damaged cassette in the

player.

The player automatically ejects
cassettes that do not play properly. If it ejects a cassette before it
begins to play, it is probably defective and should not be inserted again. You may have a
cassette suddenly stop playing,
reverse directions once or twice, and then eject. This is normally an
indication the tape is wound
unevenly. It should play after the
tape is manually rewound.
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, let it reach a
moderate temperature before inserting it in the player.
Never try to insert foreign objects
into the cassette player.

Protectin
g Compac t Disc s

Handle a CD by its edges; never

touch either surface. Contamination

from fingerprints, liquids, felt-tip

pens, and labels can cause the CD to

not play properly, or possibly jam in
the drive.
When a CD is not being played,store it in its case to protect it from
dust and other contamination. To
prevent warpage, keep CDs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat. To clean a disc, use a clean soft
cloth. Wipe across the disc from
the center to the outside edge.
A new CD may be rough on the
inner and outer edges. The small
plastic pieces causing this
roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the
disc, causing skipping or other
problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer
edges with the side of a pencil
or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects
in the CD player.
