1. Clean tape players regularly in order to reduced the possibility of reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism.
2. Store cassette tapes in cassette cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and extreme heat.
3. For the best operation of the cassette tape player, do not use cassette tapes that are longer than 90 minutes in playback time (45 minutes per side).

Cassette tapes longer than 90 minutes may cause tape slippage or jamming.

There are 2 parts that need to be cleaned on a tape player: the head and the capstan.

1. Since the head and the capstan can be reached through the tape door, leave the tape player in the vehicle.

Clean the head and the capstan every 50 hours of operation.




2. In order to clean the head and the capstan, use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary rubbing alcohol, or use a cleaning cassette.

As an alternate way to clean the head and the capstan, a cleaning cassette kit may be purchased.

3. Follow the instructions included with the kit to clean the tape player.
4. Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools.

If the head becomes magnetized, cassette sound quality will be degraded.

5. No service is performed on tapes.

Warranty of these tapes is handled by the cassette manufacturer, not by the dealer.

The cassette and remote cassette units will remind the user to clean the cassette head.

After 50 hours of cassette operation, CLN will appear briefly in the display when a cassette is inserted or when the power is cycled in cassette mode.

The clean tape indicator will be cancelled and the timer reset when the eject button is pressed and held for approximately 5 seconds.

When the feature has been cancelled, CLN appears on the screen.
