Cassettes
● Store cassettes in their cases.
● Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.
● Tapes should not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
● Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other contaminants.
● For optimal tape deck performance Volvo does not recommend the use of C-120 tapes.
● Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting cassette in cassette slot.
Cleaning cassette
We recommend the use of Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory.
Regular use helps maintain sound quality, cleans vital parts and helps prevent tape tangle.
