~ ~~~ ~ Playing a Cassette Tape
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. If
a tape is inserted when the ignition is on but the radio is
off, the tape will begin playing. A tape symbol is shown
in the center of the graphic display whenever a tape is
inserted. When a tape is active, the tape symbol will be
accompanied by a direction arrow.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, AUTO TONE, BAL, FADE, BASS and TREB controls just as you
do for the radio. Other controls may have different
functions when a tape is inserted. The display will
show the tape symbol and an arrow to show which
side
of the tape is playing.
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, it may
not be in squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and
start over.
The player is able to detect a tight or broken tape, and
will eject the tape. The radio will go back to playing the
