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,

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.
