Cassette Tape Messages
CHK TAPE (Check Tape): If this message
appears on the display, the tape will not play
due to one of the following errors:
•
The tape is tight and the player cannot turn
the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the
tape with the open end down and try to turn
the right hub counterclockwise with a
pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the
hubs do not turn easily, the tape may be
damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your
player is working properly.
•
The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
•
The tape is wrapped around the tape
head. Attempt to get the cassette out.
Try a new tape.
CLEAN: If this message appears on the display,
the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned.
It will still play tapes, but it should be cleaned as
soon as possible to prevent damage to the
tapes and player. See Care of the Cassette Tape
Player on page 345.
If the cassette tape is not playing correctly, for any
other reason, try a known good cassette.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your GM dealer. If the
radio displays an error message, write it down and
provide it to your GM dealer when reporting the
problem.

It will power up the radio and begin playing.
The override feature will remain active until the
eject button is pressed.
