not be in squarely. Press

start over.
While the tape is playing, use the
VOL, FADE, BAL,

Playing the Radio
PWR-VOL:
Press this knob to turn the system on and
off.
To increase volume, turn the knob clockwise. Turn
it counterclockwise to decrease volume. The faster the
PWR-VOL knob is rotated, the quicker the radio goes to
maximum. The knob is capable of rotating continuously.
RECALL: Display the time with the ignition off by
pressing this button. When the radio is playing, press
this button to recall station frequency.
SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With SCV, your audio system adjusts automatically
to make up for road
and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at
any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the
same to you as you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each detent on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at a faster rate
of speed.
