CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not use circular motion.
RADIO FREQUENCIES
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 540±1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9±107.7, 107.9 MHz
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
²Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
²Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
²Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
CASSETTE/PLAYER CARE
Do:
²Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
²Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole
and turning the hub.
²Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
²Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or
cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
²Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after
10±12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.
Don't:
²Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.
²Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being
played.
