AUDIO
270AM
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, causing 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,
lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for 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, inconsistent playing
speed, and constant auto±reversing. They can also
get stuck or tangled in the cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has 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 cassette is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.

Correct Wrong
Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you
set them into the magazine. Hold them on the edge
and do not 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.)
