Multipath: Because of the reflection
characteristics of FM, direct and re-
flected signals may reach the antenna
at the same time (a phenomenon
called multipath reception) and cancel
each other out. As a vehicle moves
through these electronic dead spots,
the listener may hear a momentary
flutter or lose reception.
Station swapping: When two FM
stations are close to each other, and
an electronic dead spot, such as is
caused by static or multipath recep-
tion, interrupts the original signal,
sometimes the stronger second signal
is picked up automatically until the
original one returns. This swapping
can also occur as you drive away from
the selected station and approach
another station with a stronger signal.
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before
running your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
NOTICE
CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER
Use only undamaged cassette tapes of
good quality. Avoid using tapes with a
total playing time longer than 90 min-
utes.
Using damaged tapes will cause trouble
with the tape player. Longer tapes are not
recommended because of their thinness.
Before inserting a cassette, make sure
the tape is not slack and that the label
is firmly stuck on the shell.
Wind the tape firmly by turning the hub
with a pencil or the like.
Be careful not to touch the exposed tape
surface.
When not in use, take the cassette out
of the player, put it back to its case and
store it away from dust, magnets and
direct sunlight.
Leaving cassettes on the dashboard in
the sun could damage your tapes.
Keep the playback head, capstan and
pinch roller clean.
Remove tape coating residue accumu-
lated on the head, capstan and pinch roll-
er once or twice a month. A cleaning tape
is available on the market.
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than
cassette tapes into the slot, or the
tape player may be damaged.
NOTICE
COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Use only Compact Discs labeled as
shown, having no dirt, damage or
warp.
Never attempt to disassemble or oil
any part of the player unit. Do not in-
sert any object other than a Disc into
the slot.
Remember there are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
Do not put fingerprints, stickers,
scratches or pen marks on the sur-
faces of the Disc.
Hold the Disc only on the edge or center
hole.
