Radio tape recorder — main points of operation (Mitsubishi Lancer 9)

Note: The location of the switches is shown in the "Radio" figure.

1. The quality of radio signal reception may vary significantly while the vehicle is moving due to terrain features, weather conditions and proximity to sources of electromagnetic radiation.

Note: the more distance from the transmitting antenna of the radio station the signal power decreases. For the FM range the zone of confident reception is within 20-25 km in the "Stereo" mode and 30-40 km in the "Mono" mode.

Note: For a description of the switches, see the "Automatic Heater and Air Conditioner Control Panel" subsection.

2. Audio cassette player.

a) Clean the tape drive mechanism of the radio with a cleaning cassette approximately once a month. This will ensure constant playback quality.



6) It is not recommended to use 120-minute cassettes, as the thin film can cause damage to the film or cause it to become wound around the tape drive mechanism.

c) Do not expose audio cassettes to high temperatures, such as by placing the cassette under the windshield. This may cause deformation of the cassette body.

3. CD player.

a) In cold weather or high humidity, due to fogging of the disc surface and optical elements of the player, playback failures are possible. After the humidity returns to normal, the audio system will resume operation.

b) Strong vibration may cause distortion and interruptions in CD playback. This is not a malfunction.

c) It is not recommended to leave discs in the open sun. Protect the disc surface from scratches.
