Using the Controls of Your Cassette Tape
Player
NOTE: Radio power must be on to use the
cassette tape player or eject a tape.
How to insert a tape
Your cassette tape player is equipped with
power loading. Once you insert a tape and push
slightly (with the open edge to the right), the
loading mechanism draws the tape the rest of
the way in and play will begin after a
momentary tape tightening process.
NOTE: A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition on whether or not the radio
power is on. Inserting a cassette tape
with the radio power off will turn the
audio system on. After the cassette is
ejected, radio play will return. Also,
the antenna will be in the up position
whenever the radio is playing but will
go down anytime the radio is not
playing (i.e., when a cassette or
compact disc is playing or when the
radio power is off).
How to locate a desired track on the tape
There are four ways to quickly locate a desired
selection on the tape. You can use the fast
forward, rewind, "SEEK", or "SCAN" function.
Following are brief descriptions of each.
Fast forwarding the tape
To fast forward the tape, press the "FF"
button. The radio will begin playing until fast
forward is manually stopped (by pushing the
"TAPE" button) or the end of the tape is
reached.
