Adjust the volume control  to the lowest setting. 
0 Increase  volume slowly until  you hear comfortably 
and clearly. 
NOTICE: 
Before  you  add any sound equipment to your 
vehicle 
-- like a tape  player, CB radio,  mobile 
telephone  or two-way  radio 
-- be sure  you can 
add  what  you  want. 
If you can,  it’s very 
important  to do  it  properly.  Added  sound 
equipment  may interfere  with the operation  of 
your  vehicle’s  engine,  Delco  Electronics radio or 
other  systems,  and even  damage  them. Your 
vehicle’s  systems  may  interfere with the 
operation 
of sound equipment  that  has been 
added  improperly. 
So, before  adding sound equipment,  check  with 
your dealer  and be sure  to check  Federal rules 
covering  mobile  radio  and telephone  units. 
A tape player that  is not cleaned regularly can cause 
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes  or a damaged 
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored  in their 
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and 
extreme heat.  If they aren’t, they  may 
not operate 
properly  or may  cause  failure  of the tape  player. 
Your  tape player should be cleaned regularly after 
every 
50 hours of use.  Your  radio  may display 
CLEAN to indicate that you have used your  tape player 
for 
50 hours without resetting the tape clean  timer.  If 
this message appears on  the display, your cassette tape 
player needs to  be cleaned.  It  will still play tapes, but 
you  should clean  it as  soon as possible  to prevent 
damage to your tapes and  player. 
If you notice a 
reduction in sound quality,  try a known good cassette 
to  see  if it is  the  tape  or  the tape  player at fault. 
If this 
other cassette has no improvement  in sound quality, 
clean the tape  player. 
The  recommended cleaning method  for your 
cassette tape player 
is the use  of a scrubbing action, 
non-abrasive cleaning cassette  with  pads which scrub 
the tape  head as the hubs  of the cleaner cassette turn. 
The recommended cleaning cassette  is available through 
your  dealership 
(GM Part No. 12344789).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When  using a scrubbing  action, non-abrasive cleaning 
cassette, it is  normal for the  cassette to eject  because 
your unit is equipped  with a cut tape detection feature 
and 
a cleaning cassette  may appear  as  a broken  tape. To 
prevent the cleaning cassette from  being ejected,  use  the 
following  steps. 
1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY. 
2. Turn the  radio off. 
3. Press  and  hold  the TAPE button  for five  seconds. 
The tape  symbol 
on the display  will  flash  for 
two  seconds. 
4. Insert  the scrubbing action cleaning cassette. 
5. Eject  the cleaning  cassette after the manufacturer’s 
recommended cleaning  time. 
When  the cleaning cassette  has  been ejected, the  cut 
tape detection feature is active again.  You  may 
also choose  a non-scrubbing  action, wet-type 
cleaner  which  uses 
a cassette  with a fabric belt to clean 
the  tape  head.  This  type of cleaning cassette will  not 
eject  on its own. 
A non-scrubbing  action  cleaner may 
not  clean  as  thoroughly  as  the scrubbing type  cleaner. 
The 
use of  a non-scrubbing  action, dry-type cleaning 
cassette  is not  recommended. 
After  you clean  the  player,  press  and  hold 
EJECT for 
five  seconds  to reset  the  CLEAN  indicator. 
The radio 
will  display 
--- to show  the  indicator  was  reset. 
Cassettes  are subject to  wear  and  the  sound  quality 
may  degrade over  time. Always  make sure the cassette 
tape  is  in good  condition  before you  have  your  tape 
player  serviced.
