If you notice
a
reduction in sound quality, regardless of
when
the tape player was last cleaned,
try
playing a
different cassette tape to see if the tape or the tape player is
at fault.
If
the second cassette results in no improvement
in
sound quality,
try
cleaning the tape player.
Proper tape player cleaning should be done
with
a
scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This is
a
wet-type cleaning system that uses
a
cleaning cassette
with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the
cleaner cassette turn. If you use this type of cleaner, the
radio
may
display an error and eject the cartridge. This
is normal and
is
the result of an added feature in the tape
player that detects broken tapes.
If
an error occurs, you
will need
to
insert the cleaning cassette at least three
times to ensure thorough cleaning.
You may prefer to
use
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
cause an error, but may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing-type cleaner.
Whichever cleaning method
YOLI
choose, follow the
instructions included with the cleaning cassette to
properly clean the tape player. Cleaning cassettes are
available
in
most stores that sell audio products.
A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your retailer (SPO#
12344600).
Cassette tape adapter kits for portable
CD
players
will
not work
in
your cassette player. These adapters will
cause the radio to display an error and the adapter
cassette
will
eject.
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 signal surface when handling
discs. Pick
up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge
of
the hole and the outer edge.
