Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped)Because the thickness of a cassette tape
with the total playback time of over 60
minutes (C-60) are too thin, we suggest
that you do not use any of them to avoid
having tapes being tangled.
To achieve better sound quality, periodi-
cally clean the tape head using a cotton
stick with colorless alcohol (once per
month).
If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by
winding with objects like a pencil.
Because dust or foreign objects on a cas-
sette tape may damage the playback
head, always store tapes in their cases
when not in use.
Make sure cassette tapes are kept away
from magnetic devices (TV, stereo sys-
tem, etc) in order to achieve better sound
quality.
Be certain that no objects or substances
other than cassette tapes are inserted
into the cassette tape player.
Because tape media can be distorted
when exposed to direct sunlight, Do not
leave cassette tapes on the seats, dash-
board or near the back windshield.
Care of disc (if equipped)If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows for ventila-
tion before using your car audio.
It is illegal to copy and use
MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission. Use CDs that are created
only by lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents such as
benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from get-
ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by
the edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of
soft cloth before playback (wipe it from
the center to the outside edge.)
Do not damage the disc surface or
attach pieces of sticky tape or paper
onto it.
Make sure on undesirable matter other
than CDs are inserted into the CD
player (Do not insert more than one
CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to
protect them from scratches or dirt.
Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-
RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturing
companies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your car
audio system.
