CD player Oldsmobile Achieva 1995 Owner's Manuals

Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio systems
available for your Oldsmobile and how to get the best
performance from them. Please read about the system in
your vehicle.
Setting the Clock
No matter which audio system you have in your vehicle,
setting
the clock is easy.
1. With the ignition on and radio either on or off, press
SET. The SET indicator will appear on the digital
display for five seconds.
2. You must begin to set the clock to the correct hour
and minute during those five seconds.
If your audio system does not have
a compact disc
player:
Press
SCAN to set the hour.
Press SEEK to set the minute. If
your system has
a compact disc player:
Press
SCAN to set the hour.
Press the left SEEK arrow to decrease minutes or the
right
SEEK arrow to increase minutes.
If your vehicle is left with the ignition turned off for
over
24 days, battery power to your clock, audio system
and Remote Lock Control
(if you have this option) will
be turned
off to reduce battery drain. When the ignition
is turned on again, battery power will be resupplied.
However, under these conditions, it will be necessary
to
reset the clock and audio system settings. The
Delco-LOC
II@ feature on vehicles equipped with the
optional
CD player will also be activated and will need
to be reset.

CD Player Theft Deterrent Feature
Delco LOC 11’ is an theft deterrent feature for the
compact disc player. It can be used or ignored. If
ignored, the system plays normally. If it is used, your
player won’t be usable if
it is ever stolen because it will
go to “LOC” mode any time battery power is removed.
It will also
go to LOC mode any time power from the
battery is turned off by the Battery Rundown Protection
feature (see“Battery Rundown Protection”
in the Index).
Until an unlock code is entered, it will not turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to enter a secret
code into the system. If your vehicle loses battery power
for any reason, you must unlock
the system with the
secret code before your audio system will turn on.

AM
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 also
pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level.
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:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
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@ 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 retailer and be sure
to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassette, 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 cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned after every
50 hours
of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a
good cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at
fault.
If this other cassette has no improvement in sound
quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action
non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This system uses a
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as
the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
It is normal for the
cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert the cassette at
least three times to ensure a thorough cleaning.
A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your Oldsmobile retail facility. You
may use 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. It may
not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject
to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is in good condition before
you have your tape
player serviced.
Care of Your 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.
