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 EJECT to remove the tape and
start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, SEEK,
FADE, BAL, BASS and TREB controls just as you do for
the radio. Other controls may have different functions
when a tape is inserted. 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 EJECT or RECALL. 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.
