ALTERNATE FREQUENCY: This RDS feature
allows the radio to automatically switch frequencies to
the best quality station with the same programming.
AF is off by default from the factory. Press and hold
AM FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on
or off. AF ON or AF OFF will appear on the display
and the radio will beep once. The radio will not
automatically switch to other stations when AF is off.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 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 the ignition is on, but the radio is off,
the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape
symbol is shown on the display whenever a tape is
inserted. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the
tape may not be in squarely. Press EJT to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS and SEEK controls just as you do
for the radio. The display will show TAPE and an
arrow showing which side of the tape is playing.If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off,
first press EJT or DISP.
If CHK TAPE appears on the radio display, the tape
won't play because of an error.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is tight and
the player can't turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape.
Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn
the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the
tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily,
your tape may be damaged and should not be used in
the player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is broken.
Try a new tape.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is wrapped
around the tape head. Attempt to get the cassette out.
Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer.
