FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI Head Cotton applicator B880A02E SSAR042B SSAR053B o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult. o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape surfaces. o Keep all magnetized objects, such as electric motors, speakers or transformers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit. o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down to prevent dust from setting in the cassette body. o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay one given tune or tape section. This can cause poor tape winding to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and poor audio quality in the cassette. If this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by fast winding the tape from end to end several times. If this does not correct the problem, do not continue to use the tape in your vehicle. o The playback head, capstan and pinch rollers will develop a coating of tape residue that can result in deterioration of sound quality, such as a wavering sound. They should be cleaned monthly using a commercially available head cleaning tape or special solution available from audio specialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions carefully and never oil any part of the tape player unit. o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before inserting in the player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to wind up any slack. NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the drive mechanism. Do not leave tape sitting where they are exposed to hot, warm or, high humidity, such as on top of the dashboard or in the player. If a tape is exposed to excessively hot or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before putting it in the player. 1- 91
