    Tuner recall

    If the "ff", "rew", "scn" or "nxt" buttons are used, the radio is normally muted. However, if you depress the "tr" button the radio is tuned in while the tape is being wound. The last station listened to is automatically tuned. Once the tape starts to play again, the radio cuts out. This function can be permanently engaged. The "tr" indicator is then lit.

    Pause

    If you press the tuning knob the tape is stopped and the set is silent. To start the tape press the knob again. "PAU" is displayed.

    Cassette eject

    When this button is depressed the tape stops and the cassette is ejected. The radio automatically cuts in.

    Automatic Cleaning indicator

    After approx. 10 - 15 hours operation, "CLN" is displayed, indicating that the tape heads should be cleaned!
    We recommend the use of a Volvo Cleaning Cassette. Regular use maintains sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.

    CD changer

    The CD changer, which is available separately, is loaded with a cartridge containing 6 discs. Extra cartridges are available at your Volvo dealer.
    Insert the discs into the cartridge, label (A) up.
    Insert the cartridge and close the cover.
    Eject the cartridge by pressing the eject button (B).
    Remove the discs by depressing the lock tabs (C).

    Operating tips:

  • Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
  • Use high quality discs only.
  • Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
  • Never use cleaning spray or anti-static liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's
  • Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).
  • Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
  • Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
  • Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
  • When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty.
