Without Automatic Tone Control
Perform the following procedure in order to prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected
- Turn the ignition to the RUN or to the ACCESSORY position.
- Turn the radio to the ON position.
- Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
- Within 5 seconds, press and hold the REV and FWD buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The tape symbol on the display will flash, showing that the cut tape detection feature is no longer active.
- Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's recommended cleaning time.
When the cleaning cassette ejects, 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 in order 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 5 seconds in order to reset the CLN (clean) indicator. The radio will display a series of dashes, showing that the indicator had reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear: The sound quality may degrade over time. Always ensure that the cassette tape is in good condition before you have the tape player serviced.
