Remote Cassette Player - ETRR AM-FM Stereo Audio
Compact Disc ATC System
System that includes a
remote cassette player,
the cassette player
is
located in the center
of the instrument
panel.
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin they may not work well
in this player.
To load a cassette tape with the ignition off, first press EJECT. Then, insert
the cassette tape.
Once the tape is playing,
use the control knobs for volume, balance, fade,
treble and bass just as
you do for the radio. A lighted tape symbol shows
when a cassette tape
is in the player. A lighted arrow will also appear and
show the direction of play when a tape is active.
The player automatically senses if the cassette tape
is metal or CRO;! and
adjusts for best playback sound. For metal tapes,
00 (Dolby@ Noise
Reduction) will appear
in the display.
Any time a cassette tape
is inserted, the top side is selected for play first.
PREV
(1) - Press PREV or 4 SEEK (in the opposite direction that the
lighted tape direction arrow points) to search for the previous selection.
A
minimum three-second blank gap is needed for the player to stop at the
beginning of the selection. The tape direction arrow will blink during
the
SEEK operation and the audio is in the mute mode.

reverse to the beginning of
the cassette reel or until you press REV again.

press EJECT before loading
a cassette with the radio off to allow loading.

Understanding Radio Reception
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (I 6 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can interfere
with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like stornx and power lines. Try reducing
the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
AM Stereo means the Delco‘ system can receive C-QUAM“stereo
broadcasts. Many AM stations around the county use C-QUAM“ to
produce stereo, though some
do not. (C-QUAM& is a registered trademark
of Motorola, Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAMa, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.

Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until
it is
too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound. Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your
hearing adapts
to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
2. 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 th\
e operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delcoa radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, 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.
Care of Your Cassette Player and Tapes
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly is subject to reduced sound
quality, ruining the cassette, or damaging the mechanism. Tape cassettes that
are not properly stored
in their plastic cases away from contaminants, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat may not operate properly and could cause
premature failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned with every
50 hours of use to provide
optimum performance. Your radio may display “Cln” (Clean)
to indicate
that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without re-setting the tape
clean timer. If
you notice a reduction in sound quality, regardless of when
the tape player was last cleaned, try playing a different cassette to see if the
tape or tape player is at fault. If the second cassette results in
no
improvement in sound quality, try cleaning the tape player.
Proper tape player cleaning should be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This
is a wet-type cleaning system that uses
a cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the
cleaner cassette turn.
To properly clean your tape player, follow instructions
with
the cleaning cassette. If you use this type of cleaner, the radio may

display an error and eject the cartridge. This is normal and is the result of an
added feature
in the tape player that detects broken tapes. If an e.rror occurs,
you
will need to insert the cleaning cassette at least 3 times to thoroughly
clean the tape player.
You may prefer to use
a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner. This type
of cleaner uses
a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaner
cassette will
not cause an error, but it may not clean the tape player as
thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
A scrubbing action cleaner cassette is available through your retailer (SPO
# 12344600).
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time.
Always verify that the cassette tape is
in good condition and the tape player
is clean before obtaining service on your tape player.
NOTICE:
Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will not work
in your cassette player. These adapters
will cause the radio to
display an error and the adapter cassette
will be ejected.
Care of Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface
of a disc is
soiled, dampen
a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs
by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes without be.ing
damaged.
If the mast should ever become slightly bent, you can straighten it
out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals, you should
rep1 ace it.
Check every once
in a while to be sure the mast is still tightened to the
fender.

This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is used on most oil containers to help
you select the correct oil.
You should look for this
on the oil container, and use only those oils that
display the logo.
GM Goodwrench‘ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the
requirements for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your GM dealer is ready to advise if you
think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:
0 Most trips are less than 5 to IO miles (8 to 16 km). This is particularly
important when outside temperatures are below freezing.
0 Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent driving in stop and
e 00 traffic).
0 You operate your vehicle in dusty areas or off-road frequently.
0 You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle.
If any of these is true for your vehicle, then you need to change your oil and
filter every
2,500 miles (4 000 km) or 3 months - whichever comes first.
If none of them is true, change the oil and filter every
5,000 miles (8 000
km) or 12 months - whichever comes first.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don‘t let used oil stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water,
or
a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat
to the environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure
to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t
ever dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle
it by taking it to
a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
