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.
The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right. 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.
Once the tape is playing, use the
knobs for VOL, FADE,
TREB, BASS and BAL just as
you do for the radio. The
lighted arrows show which side of the tape is playing.

Press REW or RCLPROG to return to playing speed. If
you press RCLPROG, the tape will also change sides.

part of the tape. Press

beginning
of the next selection. Press the button again or
press RCL/PROG or EJECT to cancel this function.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
The theft-deterrent feature for the AM-FM stereo with
cassette tape or compact disc player can be used or
ignored.
If ignored, the system plays normally. If it is
used, your system won’t be usable if it’s ever stolen
because it will
go into LOC mode.
If your vehicle loses battery power for any reason, you
must enter your secret code again before the system will
turn on.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The following instructions will tell you how to enter a
security code into
the system.
NOTE: If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse
between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must start the procedure over at Step

safe place.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON.
3. Turn the radio off.

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
AM
.The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get
it.
Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing
can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
