Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin that they may not
work well in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label
or box, it should say whether its bias,
or “equalization,” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120 p sec.
Your tape player will adjust automatically for either type of cassette tape.
To Play a Cassette Tape
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Insert the cassette through the tape door. (The TAPE indicator in the
display
will light.)
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, the cassette may not be
in squarely. Press the EJCT button to remove the tape and start over. The
tape equalization
is automatically sensed and set. Inserting the cassette
also activates DOLBY
@ noise reduction.
DNR@ is the Dynamic Noise Reduction. It helps remove background hiss
noise from the radio.
“DNR’ is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor
Corporation.
3. Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs to adjust the
volume and balance, just as you do for the radio. Press the upper knob
to change tape direction. The arrow in the display shows which
direction the tape is being played.
FWD: Press this button to go forward rapidly to another part of the tape.
The radio will play during fast forward.
To stop the tape, press the same
button and
the tape will start to play.
REV: Press this button to reverse the tape. To stop the tape, press the
same button lightly or any
of the other buttons. The radio will play during
this reverse function.

selection on the tape is being played, the player will return to the
beginning
of that side of the tape.

and
try it again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ERR: This error message is displayed if you have a condition of either
extreme temperature, moisture
or an incorrect CD. The CD will

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and
quickly steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. If you start steering
quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a
second skid
if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other
material is on the road. For safety, you’ll want to
slow down and adjust
your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery
surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control
-
more limited.
r
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid
sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (including engine braking by
shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is
skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues
-- such as enough water, ice or --
packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface” -- and slow down .
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock brake system
(ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid.
