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
last station selected.
The player automatically senses the cartridge for metal
or Cr02 and sets the pre-emphasis. Anytime a tape is
inserted,
the top side is selected to play first.

tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage to the tapes and player. See “Care of
Your Cassette Tape Player” in the Index. After you clean
