Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 30 to 90 minutes in length. Longer tapes may be so thin that whey will not work well in this player. Do not use cassettes that are in bad condition, damaged, dirty, or have been exposed to extreme heat or sunlight. Use of poor quality, damaged or dirty tapes could cause your tape player to fail.

Cassette tapes wear out. When they are worn, sound quality is reduced. Always make sure that your tapes are in good condition before you play them. Metal tape sensing and equalization is automatic. An "M" icon will appear on the display when a metal tape is sensed.

Your tape player should be cleaned every time it has been used for 35 hours. If it is not cleaned regularly, sound quality may deteriorate and your tapes or tape player could be damaged. (See Cleaning Your Cassette Player for cleaning information).

Playing a Cassette:

1. Turn receiver on.
2. Insert a cassette into cassette slot. The cassette icon will appear on the display and the tape will begin to play.

Bad Tape Detect: If receiver detects a bad cassette, "BAD TAPE" will appear on the display, and tape will be ejected. Tape may be damaged or too tight. If it is damaged, try a new tape. If tape is too tight, player cannot turn tape hubs. Remove tape and hold it with open end down. Try to turn right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn tape over and repeat.

Operating Tips About Your Audio System:

Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to high volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on your receiver to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.

To help avoid hearing loss:

  • Adjust volume control to lowest setting.
  • Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

Understanding Radio Reception:

FM STEREO: FM stereo will give you best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 16-65 km (10-40 miles). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing sound to come and go.

AM: Range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. Longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing treble to reduce this noise if you experience it.

Care of Your Cassette Player Always avoid:

  • Touching cassette head with magnetic or hard objects.
  • Lubricating player mechanism.
