AM ANTENNA TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT

The antenna trimmer can be accessed through the small hole behind the cassette door

(see diagram below).  Tune to a weak station between 1200 and 1400 KHz AM.  (If you cannot

find a weak station in this range, tune to any other strong station, and adjust tuning slightly off

  station).  Adjust trimmer for maximum volume.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cassette

Always check that the tape is tightly

wound inside the take-up spool on the cassette.
If the tape is loose, wind it with a six-sided
pencil.  Never use C-120 (120 minute) cassettes
in this player.  Never use cassette player when
vehicle temperature is near or below freezing.

Cleaning of tape Head & Capstan

Since tapes contain oxides, you will find a

black residue builds up on the tape head and
drive capstan (inside cassette door).  These
residues should be cleaned after 50-100 hours
of accumulated tape operation.  You can use a
cassette cleaning cartridge available where ever
stereos are sold.

De-Magnetizing

The movement of the magnetic tape head

and metal parts cause a magnetic field to
develop.  We recommend you have the tape
player demagnetized at least twice annually.
You can purchase an inexpensive tape head
demagnetizing tool to do this yourself.
