Playing a Cassette Tape
With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. The tape will
begin playing as soon as it is inserted. When one side of
your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays the
other side of your cassette tape. If you want to insert a
cassette tape when the ignition is off, first press EJECT.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
BASS and TREB controls just as you do for the radio.
Other controls may have different functions when a tape is
inserted. The display will show TAPE with an arrow to
indicate which side of the tape is playing. PLAY will
appear on the display temporarily when a tape is playing.
The display will then revert back to showing the time.
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be that:
The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning the right
hub to the left with a pencil. Flip the tape over and
repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your cassette
tape may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape
to
be sure your player is
working properly.
The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if your
tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
