midpoint position, then move the others up or down
until you get the amount of bass and treble you like.
To Play A Cassette
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.
With the radio on, press a tape into the slot marked
AUTO REVERSE (the tape side goes in first).
Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs
for volume, balance, and fade just as you did for the
radio. The arrow
in the graphic display above the word
TAPE indicates which side
of the tape is being played.
When the end of the tape is reached, it
will
automatically reverse and play the other side of the tape.
