The HomeLink TM Transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If
you cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult your
Cadillac dealer or call
1-800-355-35 15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case you need to -
erase and reprogram the HomeLink TM transmitter. -1

may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming -

you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter
with a series of double blinks.

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.

and
try it again.
