right speakers. The middle position balances the
sound between the speakers.

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 and 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 EJECT to remove the tape and
start over.
3-66
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, SEEK,
FADE, BAL, BASS, and TREB controls just as you do
for the radio. The display will show an arrow to show
which side of the tape is playing.
The tape player automatically begins playing the other
side when it reaches the end of the tape.
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 CD players will work in your
cassette tape player.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape
Messages" later in this section.

2 NEXT: Press this pushbutton to search for the next

three seconds of silence between each selection for
