Playing a Cassette
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, AUDIO and
SEEK controls just as you do for the radio. The radio will
display UP if the top side of the tape is playing.
DN (Down) will appear if the bottom side is playing.
If you want to insert a tape while the ignition is off, first
press the eject button or the RCL knob.
