We recommend C-60 and C-90 type tapes
for use in any automobile tape player; to
protect your tapes, store them in a cool place
awayfromdirt, dust, orexcessivetemperatu-
res above 50° Celsius. In order to ensure
smooth tape operation, cold tapes should be
allowed to heat up a bit before they are
played. If dust collects on the audio head or
the rubber roller, problems related to rough
tape operation or poor sound quality may
occur after approx. 100 hours of operation.
For playing the next CD, proceed as follows:
