Station swapping − If the FM signal you are
listening to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on the
FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked
up again.
AM
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 sig-
nal 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 ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For high performance from your cassette
player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regular-
ly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette 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, in-
consistent 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 dam-
aged 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 cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player. Caring for your DVD player and discs
The player is intended for use with 12 cm
(4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperature can keep
your DVD player from working. On hot
days, use air conditioning to cool the ve-
hicle interior before you listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your multi
−disc player skip.
I
f moisture gets into your DVD player, you
may not hear any sound even though your
DVD player appears to be working. Re-
move the magazine from the player and
wait until it dries.
CAUTION
DVD players use an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed outside
the unit. Be sure to operate the player
correctly.
