Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN
PLAYER 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 dealer (GM Part No. 12344789).
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 the eject button
for five seconds to reset the CLEAN PLAYER indicator.
The radio will display CLEANED 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.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges
or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
