To
Play
a
Cassette Tape
With
the
ignition
on,
insert the tape and it will begin
playing. The audio system will turn on automatically.
Your tape player is designed to work best with tapes that
are
30
to
45
minutes long
on
each side. Longer tapes
may not work as well.
Note that when a tape is inserted, “TP’ will be
displayed. When the tape is playing, a box will appear
around “TP” in the display along with an arrow to show
whether the top or bottom of the tape is playing. Any
time a tape is inserted, the top side will play first.
If
a
high-bias metal or CrO2 tape is played, “HI-BIAS” will
appear in the display and the equalization will be
adjusted automatically. If
you
select
a
tone setting
for
your tape, it will be activated each time
you
play a tape.
If “Cln” (Clean) appears on the display when you insert
your cassette tape, your cassette player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play cassette tapes, but it should be
cleaned to prevent damage to your cassette tapes and the
cassette tape player. See “Care
of
Your Cassette Tape
Player” later
in
this section. After
you
have cleaned the
cassette tape player, press and hold EJECT for five
seconds
to
reset the Cln indicator. The radio
will
display
“---”
to
show that the clean feature has been reset.
If
“Err”
or
“E’
and
a
number appear on the display at
any time, an error has occurred. See “Cassette Tape and
CD Errors” later in this section.
