ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To clean the heads
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available
at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes in
their storage cases after
use.
• Do not store tapes in the
following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
CAUTIONS:
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette
compartment after use, as the tape may become
slack.
The function below is also provided to ensure the
longer life of the cassette deck.
Ignition key-off release
When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette
in the compartment, the unit automatically
releases the tape from its head.
Available characters
• You can use the following characters to
assign names to station frequencies, CDs,
and external component. (See page 33.)
• You can display the information (album title,
performer name, song title, etc.) as ID3v1

unit. (See pages 16 and 41.)
