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, FAD, BAL,
TRE, BAS and SEEK controls just as you do for the
radio. The radio will display UP or the up arrow if the
top side of the tape is playing. DN or the down arrow
will appear if the bottom side is playing.
If the player detects a tight or broken tape, ERR (error)
will appear on the display and the player will eject
the tape. The radio will go back to playing the last
station selected.
If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off,
first press the eject button or the RCL knob.
PREV (1): Press this button or the left SEEK arrow to
go to the previous selection on the tape if the selection
has been playing for less than three seconds. If the
PREV button or the left SEEK arrow is pressed and
the current selection has been playing for more than
13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the current
selection. If the PREV button or the left SEEK arrow
is pressed and the current selection has been playing
from 3 to 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of
the previous selection or the beginning of the current
selection, depending on the position on the tape.
FR will appear on the display while the cassette player
is in PREV mode. Your tape must have at least three
seconds of silence between each selection for PREV to
work. The sound will mute while seeking.
NEXT (2): Press this button or the right SEEK arrow to
go to the next selection on the tape. FF will appear on
the display while the cassette player is in NEXT mode.
Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence
between each selection for NEXT to work. The sound
will mute while seeking.
REV (3): Press this button to reverse the tape rapidly.
FR will appear on the display. Press it again to return
to playing speed. The radio will play the last selected
station while the tape reverses. You may select stations
during REV operation by using TUNE, SEEK, SCAN or
PRESET SCAN.
