This warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties or liabilities. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY , SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY . [. . . ] Converters Many boats incorporate convertors as a source for 12VDC when connected to shore power (110-120 VAC). Some converters put out a very clean DC supply where others may have a considerable amount of AC ripple noise under maximum load. This AC ripple noise is filtered by the boat battery when connected into the circuit , but when the battery is disconnected the amount of AC ripple noise can create major problems for audio products. Noise may result and the line fuse may fail Ignition systems Unwanted noise generated from ignition systems used to be a big problem. However, with more sophisticated filtering circuits designed into audio/video products, these problems are not as wide spread Changes in wire harnessing also has contributed to the decline of application problems. Use the same ground point for all related products. This will greatly reduce the potential for unwanted noise. AM ANTENNA TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT The antenna trimmer can be accessed through the small hole behind the cassette door (see diagram below). Tune radio to a weak station between 1200 and 1400 KHz AM ( If you cannot find a weak station in this range, tune to any other strong station, and adjust tuning slightly off station). Adjust trimmer for maximum volume.

If the tape is loose, wind it with a six - sided pencil. Never use C-120 (120 minute) cassettes in this player. Never use cassette player when vehicle temperature is near or below freezing. Cleaning of Tape Head & Capstan Since tapes contain oxides, you will find a black residue builds up on the tape head and drive capstan ( inside cassette door ). These residues should be cleaned after 50-100 hours of accumulated tape operation . You can use a cassette cleaning cartridge available where ever stereos are sold. De-Magnetizing The movement of the magnetic tape head and metal parts cause a magnetic field to develop. We recommend you have the tape player demagnetized at least twice annually. You can purchase an inexpensive tape head demagnetizing tool to do this yourself. 3 "We have a complete line of audio and video products specifically designed for the Marine and RV market.

" 6 TROUBLESHOOTING CHART AM/FM RADIOS Symptom No Power APPLICATION NOTES AM/FM RECEPTION Some boats have more than one AM/FM radio. The best way to insure good reception is to supply a separate antenna for each radio. [. . . ] Most automotive antennas are designed to be mounted on the metal body of the vehicle. The metal body reflects the signal interference generated by the vehicle's electrical system while it also provides the ground for the antenna lead shield. All this is necessary in order to maintain a good signal, especially AM. [. . . ]
