We recommend you keep this manual for future reference of the many features found in this unit. As with any cassette player, the cassette section of this sound system does require a minimum of maintenance to keep it in good working condition. The following simple care and maintenance suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the cassette system. CASSETTE CARE: 1. Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store. Use it! At least every 20 to 30 hours of operation you must clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty cassette player will have a poor sound. 2. Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on each side. 3. Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted or dirty or with loose or torn labels on it. 4. Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing conditions. If a cassette is cold, allow it to warm up before use. 5. Do not keep a cassette in the player when not in use. 6. Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the reels. Take up any excess slack using a pencil to turn the drive hub in the cassette (see diagram below). -10- Applies to automotive radios, radio/tape players, radio/CD players, CD changers, power amplifiers, equalizers and accessories.
