Tone control will return to the BASS and TREB knobs.
Also, if you use the BASS and
TREB
knobs, control will
return to them and MANUAL will appear. (This button is
not available on the Bose radio.)
Adjusting the Speakers
BAL: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the knob
to move the sound to the left or right speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
FADE: Press the knob lightly so it extends. Then pull
the knob all the way out. Turn it to move the sound to
the front or rear speakers. The middle position balances
the sound between the speakers.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you're not using them.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
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 EJECT to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape
is
playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS, TONE, SEEK and SCAN controls just as
you do for the radio. (The TONE control is not available
on the Bose radio.) The display will show TP with a box
around it and an arrow to show which side of the tape
is playing.
Your tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted, HI-BIAS appears on the
display. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is
off, first press EJECT or RCL.
If E and a number appear on the radio display and the
tape won't play because of an error, it could be that:
0
E10: The tape is tight and the player can't turn the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold
the
tape with
the
open end down and try to turn the right hub to the left
with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the
hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and
should not be used in the player. Try a new tape to
make sure your player is working properly.
0
Ell: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your retailer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it
to your retailer when reporting the problem.
