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.
While the tape is playing, use the 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
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 reaches the end of the tape.
If E and a number appear on the radio display, the tape
won't play because of an
error.
ElO: 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
counterclockwise 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.
