Playing A Cassette Tape - Buick 2005 LeSabre Owner's Manual

Playing a Cassette Tape

The tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player. The longer side with the tape visible should
face to the right. If you hear nothing or hear a garbled
sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press the eject
button to remove the tape and start over.
If the ignition and radio are off, press the eject or the
DISP button to insert and to begin play of a tape. If the
ignition is on and the radio is off, the tape can be
inserted and will begin playing.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME and AUDIO
controls just as you do for the radio. The display will
show an arrow to show which side of the tape is playing.
Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will
work in the cassette tape player. See "CD Adapter Kits"
later for more information.
The tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape
Messages" later in this section.

SEEK : The tape must have at least
three seconds of silence between each selection for seek
to work. Press the left or the right arrow to go to the
previous or to the next selection on the tape. SEEK and a
negative or positive number will appear on the display.
Pressing the left or right arrow multiple times will increase
the number of selections to be searched up to -5 or +5. If
-5 or +5 is shown on the display, the cassette tape player
will fast forward or rewind through the four selections and
stop at the fifth selection.
To scan cassette tape selections, press and hold
either SEEK arrow for two seconds until SCN appears on
the display and you hear a beep. The tape will go to the
next selection, play for a few seconds, then go on to the
next selection. The cassette tape will only scan forward.
Press either SEEK arrow again to
stop scanning.
BAND: Press this button to listen to the radio when a
cassette tape or CD is playing. The inactive tape or CD
will remain safely inside the radio for future listening.
