Cut / Clean Tape Feature

Clean Tape Feature
The radio keeps track of the length of time the cassette has been played. After 50 hours of playing time, the radio will display CLEAN TAPE for approximately 3 seconds when a tape is played. This can be cleared by pressing and holding the tape eject button for approximately 3 seconds. The radio will then display CLEAN TAPE MESSAGE CLEARED for approximately 3 seconds.

Cut Tape Feature
The radio has a cut tape feature to allow the use of a cleaning tape. This feature is enabled by turning off radio power and pressing and holding the SOURCE button for approximately 2 seconds. The tape icon will flash 3 times to acknowledge the feature is enabled. The cut tape feature remains enabled until the tape is ejected.
