AIR CONDITIONING AND AUDIO Static - AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static. Caring for your cassette player and tapes For high performance from your cassette player and tapes: Clean the tape head and other parts regularly. A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean them is by using a cleaning tape. Use high-quality cassettes: Low-quality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto-reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off. Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside. Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight. Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. Caring for your compact disc player and discs Use only compact discs labeled as shown. Lexus does not recommend using 8 cm (3.2 in.) discs. Extremely high temperature can keep your compact disc player from working. On hot days, use air conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc. Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip. If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player appears to be working. Remove the magazine from the player and wait until it dries. 121
