Audio System
The REPEAT and TMS functions
use silent periods on the tape to
find the end of a selection. These
features may not work
satisfactorily on tapes that have
almost no gap between songs, a
high noise level between songs,
or silent periods in the middle of
songs.
Caring for the Cassette Player
The cassette drive picks up dirt
and oxides whenever you play a
tape. This builds up over time
and causes the sound quality to
degrade. To prevent this, you
should clean the cassette drive
after every 30 hours of use. Your
Honda dealer has a cleaning kit
available for this purpose.
After 30 hours of tape use, you
will see CLEAN flashing for 5
seconds in the display when you
insert a tape into the tape slot. If
you are already regularly cleaning
the tape drive at least every 30
hours, reset the indicator by
pressing the Preset 6 button while
the system is the tape operation
mode. Hold the button until you
hear a beep and the CLEAN
indicator goes out.
If you do not clean the cassette
drive regularly, it may eventually
become impossible to remove the
deposits with a normal cleaning
kit.
The cassette player automatically
ejects cassettes that do not play
normally. If it ejects a cassette
before it begins to play, it is
probably defective and should
not be inserted again. You may
have a cassette suddenly stop
playing, reverse directions once
or twice and then eject. This is
normally an indication the tape is
wound unevenly. It should play
normally after being manually
rewound.
