Audio system care
Caution: Care must be taken to avoid
spilling or splashing drinks onto the
audio system head. In the event of
such an occurrence advise your
Jaguar Dealer.
Radio
Do not use petrol, solvents or abrasive
cleaners on the radio. Wipe the surface of
the radio with a lint-free cloth to remove
dust. Slightly moisten the cloth with clean
water to remove any finger marks from
the outside surface of the radio.
If the radio is to be removed or the
battery disconnected, first ensure that the
radio code is recorded. The number will
be required for re-insertion following
radio installation.
Cassettes
Always use good quality cassettes.
Inferior quality tapes can jam the player
mechanisms, adversely affect sound
quality, and accelerate the build-up of
deposits on the play-back head.
Before playing a cassette, ensure that the
tape is not loose on the spools. If
necessary, take up the slack by gently
turning the spools with the end of a
pencil. A jammed or sticking tape will
cause the auto-reverse mechanism to
operate continuously.
It is advisable not to use a tape longer
than 45 minutes playing time each
side (C90). Cassettes should be stored in
their library cases away from direct
sunlight. Do not store cassettes in door
pockets where magnets in loud-speakers
can impair sound reproduction. Never
insert a cassette that has a torn or loose
label, it may cause the mechanism to jam.
After approximately 15 hours playing
time, the audio screen will display
CLEAN TAPE’. Clean the tape
mechanism itself using a proprietary
cassette cleaning kit available from any
good Hi-Fi stockist.
Caution: Do not use abrasive type
cleaners as they can cause excessive
wear of the play-back head.
Compact discs (CDs) and
MiniDiscs (MDs)
When handling CDs/MDs, do not touch
the playing surface. CDs/MDs should be
stored in their cases away from direct
sunlight, heat and dust. Scratches,
finger-marks or dust on the surface of a
disc can cause the optical pick-up to skip
tracks. If the surface of a CD/MD is dirty,
use an appropriate CD/MD cleaner.
Do not attempt to play discs that are
damaged, warped, cracked or of incorrect
size. They can seriously damage the
play-back mechanism.
