Radio
Tape Playback
(Mexico Cassette Model)
This type of radio provides for the
playback of prerecorded stereo
music through the unique combina­
tion of all the features of an
automatic signalseeking stereo
radio with a tape player.
To start playback, insert stereo
cassette through the swing-away
door of the cassette slot and
depress until the mechanism
engages. (Note: Full reel on the right
32
tape side of cassette first.) The
cassette will be automatically
released when the tape reaches its
end. To play the other side, remove
the cassette from the radio, turn it
upside down and reinsert through
the slot. To manually eject the
cassette, push the release bar (7).
When the cassette is ejected, the
unit will automatically switch to
radio reception. For fast forward or
rewind of the tape, depress button
8 or 9 past point of resistance. To
stop tape winding, depress
opposing button to point of
resistance only.
Care of the Tape Player
Use only good quality cassettes with
a maximum playing time of
45 minutes per side (C 90). " Un­
wound" tapes can be fixed by
rewinding either reel with a pencil
inserted in its hub. The pick-up head
and roller should be cleaned
occasionally to maintain the original
high quality sound reproduction.
