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 mow 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 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.
Ell:
The tape is broken. T r y
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.
