The circuit senses silent passages between songs or programs on a
tape. Push upward to automatically advance to the beginning of the next song, or downward return to the beginning of the song just
played.
NOTE:
Tapes that contain short silent passages between songs, a high level
of noise between songs, or silent passages within a song may not be
suitable for this function.
Metal Indicator (METAL)
Most metal or CrO2 cassettes are coded with slots on their back
edge. If such a cassette is inserted, the player will detect the slots and automatically switch to the proper equalization for full
enjoyment of metal/CrO2 tapes. The indicator light will go on when
coded cassettes are played.
Eject
Push this button to stop and eject the tape.
Ignition Key-OFF Eject: The cassette being played will be
automatically ejected when the ignition or the unit is turned off.
NOTE:
When one side of the tape ends, "Auto-Reverse" will automatically begin playing the other side, therefore, you must push the ejectbutton to stop or remove the tape.

CLEAN Indicator Light
After 50 hours of cassette tape play, the light will come on as a reminder to clean the tape heads. If the light comes on and the tape
heads were not cleaned at the recommended 30 hours of usage (see maintenance section below), they should be cleaned immediately.
To reset, push the indicator for a minimum of five seconds until the light goes off.
Defective Tape Eject
The tape player includes a protection mechanism to automatically eject defective tapes (warped housing, loose label, faulty tape movement) immediately upon insertion, if a tape malfunctions while
in play, the tape direction will change back and forth and then e|ect
the cassette. Tapes ejected before play should be considered faulty and discarded; tapes ejected during play may only be unevenly
wound and could be re-usable if fully rewound, manually, outside the player.
NOTE:
The tape player may repeat cycle through the loading and unloading
motion several times in an effort to eject a faulty tape. During this
process the tape will either eject fully or rise to the loading level and
have to be pulled out manually. In either case, discard the tape; re-
use may damage the tape player.
Maintenance
The head in the cassette tape player can pick up dirt or tape
deposits each time a cassette is played. The result is low or "muddy" sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone
control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available cleaning
cassette.
As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of
use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor
sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple
cleaning cassette.
The use of 120 minutes tape is not recommended.
CAUTION:
Storing cassettes out of their cases, or touching the magnetic
tape with your fingers will increase the amount of dirt that gets to
the tape head. Using low-quality "off-brand" tape will increase the
amount of tape deposits that get on the head. Both of these
practices may eventually lead to damage of the head and playing
mechanism.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu t s
