Stereo Operation
The indicator light will go on automatically
when selected FM station is broadcasting in
Stereo. The light is not on when monaural
broadcasts are being received, or when a
stereo signal drops below a predetermined
level. The radio is designed to reproduce
weak stereo signals monaurally to provide
more noise free reception. When the signal
increases beyond the threshold level, the
stereo indicator will light again.
Tape Deck Operation
Insert tape cartridge into slot (behind hinged
panel, see Fig. 2) to a fully seated position to
switch tape deck on.
Receiver SELECT
switch must be in TAPE position to operate
tape deck. Retracting tape cartridge approxi¬
mately one inch from seated position or re¬
moving tape cartridge completely switches
tape deck off.
The program indicator lights indicate which
tape program is playing.
When REPEAT botton is in "IN" position, the
tape deck will continue playing the same pro¬
gram that is playing until another program is
selected or button is released to "OUT" posi¬
tion.

tion tape deck pick-up head to the next pro¬
gram on the tape. NOTE: If PROGRAM selec¬
tor feature is not used the four programs will
play in sequence except when "REPEAT"
button is in "REPEAT" position. The tape
deck will play continuously in this manner un¬
til tape cartridge is pulled out from its seated
position.
In time, oxide from recording tape will accu¬
mulate on the tape head and capstan shaft
which can cause tape hiss and erratic opera¬
tion. The more often the tape player is used,
the more often it should be cleaned.
Clean the head with a cotton swab moistened
with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use carbon
tetrachloride.
To clean the capstan shaft, first turn on the
motor by depressing the motor switch (next to
the capstan shaft) with the eraser end of a
pencil. Use a cotton swab moistened with al¬
cohol on the shaft.
The fuse for the radio, or radio/tape is locat¬
ed behind the unit. To gain access to the
fuse, carefully pry off the metalized plastic
front bezel of radio unit. Remove four attach¬
ing screws and slide unit out.
