Interior Comfort

Audio System

Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K

Strong signal noise

This occurs very close to a transmitter 
tower. The broadcast signals are 
extremely strong, so the result is noise and 
sound breakup at the radio receiver.

Station drift noise

When a vehicle reaches the area of two 
strong stations broadcasting at similar 
frequencies, the original station may be 
temporarily lost and the second station 
picked up. At this time there will be some 
noise from this disturbance.

Operating Tips for Cassette Tape 
Player

Cleaning the cassette tape player

The tape head, capstans, and pinch rollers 
will gather oxide residue from cassette 
tapes. This can cause weak or wavering 
sounds and damage to the cassette tapes 
and player. Use a good quality head-
cleaning tape or a liquid cleaner cassette 
tape to remove it.
Should the unit not operate normally, 
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. 
Never attempt to repair it or insert a 
screwdriver or anything else.

Handling the cassette tape player

The following precautions should be 
observed.

•

Do not spill any liquid on the audio 
system.

•

Do not insert any objects, other than 
cassette tape, into the slot.
