PWR-VOL: Press this knob to turn the system on and
off. To increase volume, turn the knob to the right. Turn
it to the left to decrease volume. The knob is capable of
rotating continuously.
RECALL: Press this button to recall the station being
played. If you press the button when the ignition is
off,
the clock will show for a few seconds.
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 to the right 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 notch on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.

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 cassette for metal or
Cr02 and sets the pre-emphasis. Anytime a tape is
inserted, the top side is selected to play first.
PREV (1): Press this button or the left SEEK arrow to
go to the previous selection on the tape if the current
selection has been playing for less than eight seconds.
If
the PREV button is pressed and the current selection has
been playing for more than eight seconds, it will
go to
the beginning of the current selection. Your tape must
have at least three seconds of silence between each
selection for PREV or SEEK to work. The tape direction
arrow blinks during PREV or SEEK operation. The
sound will mute during PREV or SEEK operation. Press
this button or one of the SEEK arrows again to return to
normal play.

device, pressing this button a second time will allow the
remote device to play.
EJECT: Press this button to remove the tape. The radio
will play. EJECT may be activated with either the
ignition or radio off. Cassettes may be loaded
with the
radio
off if this button is pressed first. If you leave a
cassette tape in the player while listening to the radio, it
may become warm.

to be cleaned. It will still play
tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
