Owners Manual
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 the eject symbol
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 display
will show TAPE and an arrow showing which side of
the tape is playing.
If you want to insert a tape while the ignition is
off, first
press the eject symbol or DISP.
If
an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
