To adjust balance, press this button until BAL appears
on the display. Turn the SELECT knob clockwise for
the right speakers and counterclockwise for the left

and balance to the middle position.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. If you hear
nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in
squarely. Press the eject button to remove the tape
and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BAL FADE,
TONE, EQ, SEEK and SCAN controls just as you do for
the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side of the tape is playing. The tape
player automatically begins playing the other side when
it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome
tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape when the
ignition is off, first press the eject button or the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won't
play because of an error.

and the T will blink to indicate track scan mode.
Press SEEK again to stop TRACK SCAN.

for four seconds until DISC SCAN appears on the

and the D will blink to indicate disc scan mode.
Press SEEK again to stop DISC SCAN.
Theft-Deterrent Feature RDS Radios
THEFTLOCK is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. The feature works automatically by learning a
portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not
operate and LOCKED will be displayed.
With THEFTLOCK activated, your radio will not
operate if stolen.

tape must have at least three seconds of silence between
each selection for SEEK to work. If a compact disc is

track. Press the down arrow to go to the start of the
current track if more than eight seconds have played.
