Playing a Cassette Tape
Your 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 the ignition is on, but the radio is
off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If
you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE,
TONE, EQ and SEEK controls just as you do for
the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side of the tape is playing. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other side
when it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted. If you want to insert a
tape while the ignition is off, first press the eject button
or push the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape
Messages'' later in this section.
