Playing A Cassette Tape - Buick Rendezvous 2003 Owner's Manual

Playing a Cassette Tape

The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right. If the ignition and the radio are on, the tape
can be inserted and will begin playing. 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.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME and AUDIO
controls just as you do for the radio. The display will
show an arrow to show which side of the tape is playing.
If you want to insert a tape while the ignition or radio
is off, first press the eject button or DISP. Cassette tape
adapter kits for portable compact disc players will
work in your cassette tape player.
Your tape bias is set automatically.
If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape
Messages" later in this section.
