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,
BASS and TREB 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.
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
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.
E l l : The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it
to your dealer when reporting the problem.
