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, the tape can be
inserted, but will not play until ignition and
radio are on. 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 VOL, AUDIO,
and SEEK controls just as you do for the
radio. The cassette tape symbol will appear on the
display and an arrow showing which side of the
tape is playing. The tape player will play the other
side of the tape when it reaches the end.
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.
1 PREV (Previous): The tape must have at least
three seconds of silence between each selection
for previous to work. Press this pushbutton to go to
the previous selection on the tape if the current
selection has been playing for less than
three seconds. If pressed when the current
selection has been playing from three to
13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the
previous selection or the beginning of the current
selection, depending on the position on the
tape. If pressed when the current selection has
been playing for more than 13 seconds, it will go to
the beginning of the current selection.
SEEK and a negative number will appear on the
display while the cassette player is in the previous
mode. Pressing this pushbutton multiple times
will increase the number of selections to be
searched back, up to 9.
2 NEXT: The tape must have at least
three seconds of silence between each selection
for next to work. Press this pushbutton to go
to the next selection on the tape. Pressing this
pushbutton multiple times, in next mode, will
increase the number of selections to be searched
forward. SEEK and a positive number will
appear on the display.
