Radio
Do not use gas, 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 or battery reconnection.
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 playback 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 loudspeakers 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 playback head.
Compact discs (CDs)
When handling CDs, do not touch the
playing surface. CDs 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 is dirty, use an
appropriate CD cleaner.
Do not attempt to play discs that are
damaged, warped, cracked or of
incorrect size. They can seriously damage
the playback mechanism.
