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
and BAL
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.
