oil type OLDSMOBILE AURORA 1995 Owners Manual

If you notice a reduction in sound quality, regardless of
when the tape player was last cleaned, try playing a
different cassette tape to see if the tape or the 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. 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 error occurs, you
will need
to insert the cleaning cassette at least three
times to ensure thorough cleaning.
You may prefer to
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
cause an error, but may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing-type cleaner. Whichever cleaning method
YOLI choose, follow the
instructions included with the cleaning cassette to
properly clean the tape player. Cleaning cassettes are
available
in most stores that sell audio products. A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your retailer (SPO#
12344600).
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 eject.
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.
