Playing a Cassette Tape
With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. The tape will
begin playing as soon as it is inserted. When one side of
your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays the
other side of your cassette tape. Cassette tapes may be
loaded with the radio off but they will not start playing
until the radio is on. If you want to insert a cassette tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE,
LEVEL and DSP controls just as you do for the radio.
Other controls may have different functions when a
tape is inserted. The display will show an underlined
tape symbol. TAPE PLAY will appear on the display
when a tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which
side of the tape is playing.
Your cassette tape player automatically reduces
background noise. Dolby Noise Reduction is

Auto CrO

the type of cassette tape for clearer sound for CrO

cassette tapes.
