Cassette Tape Messages
CHK TAPE (Check Tape): If this message
appears on the display, the tape does not
play due to one of the following errors:
•
The tape is tight and the player cannot
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, the tape
may be damaged and should not be used
in the player. Try a new tape to make sure
your player is working properly.
•
The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
•
The tape is wrapped around the tape
head. Attempt to get the cassette out.
Try a new tape.
CLEAN: If this message appears on the display,
the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned.
It still plays tapes, but it should be cleaned as
soon as possible to prevent damage to the
tapes and player. See Care of the Cassette
Tape Player on page 351.
If the cassette tape is not playing correctly, for any
other reason, try a known good cassette.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.

following steps:

five seconds. READY appears on the
display and the tape symbol on the display
flashes, indicating the feature is active.
4. Insert the adapter into the cassette tape slot.
It powers up the radio and begins playing.
The override feature remains active until the eject
button is pressed.
