NOTE: A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition on whether or not the radio
power is on. Inserting a cassette tape
with the radio power off will turn the
audio system on. After the cassette is
ejected, radio play will return.
How to locate a desired track on the tape
There are four ways to quickly locate a desired
selection on the tape. You can use the fast
forward, rewind, "SEEK", or "SCAN" function.
Following are brief descriptions of each.
Fast forwarding the tape
To fast forward the tape, press the "FF"
button. The radio will begin playing until fast
forward is manually stopped (by pushing the
"TAPE" button) or the end of the tape is
reached.
At the end of the tape, the direction
automatically reverses and plays the other
side of the tape.
Rewinding the tape
To rewind the tape, press the "REW" button.
The radio will begin playing until rewind is
manually stopped (by pushing the "TAPE"
button) or the beginning of the tape is
reached.
