VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREBLE and BASS controls just as you do for the
radio. The display will show an arrow to show which
side of the tape is playing. When the down indicator
arrow is lit, selections listed
on
the bottom side of the
I
cassette are playing. When
the
up arrow is lit, selections
listed on the top side of the cassette are playing. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other side
when it reayhes the end of the tape.
If E and a number appear on the display, the tape won't
play because of an error.
