Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
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 EJECT to remove the tape and
start
over.
While
the tape
is
playing, use the
VOL,
FADE,
BAL,
TREB,
BASS,
TONE,
SEEK
and SCAN controls just as
you do for the radio. The display will show
TP
with a
box around it and an arrow to show which side of the
tape is playing.
Your tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted,
HI-BIAS
appears on the
display. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition
is
off,
first press
EJECT or
RCL.
If
E
and a number appear on the radio display and the
tape won’t play because of an error, it could be that:
0
E10:
The tape is tight and the player can’t
turn
the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and
try
to
turn
the right hub to the left
with a pencil.
Turn
the tape over and repeat.
If
the
hubs do not
turn
easily, your tape may be damaged
and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape
to make sure your player is working properly.
Ell:
The tape is broken.
Try
a new tape.
If
any error occurs repeatedly or
if
an error can’t be
corrected, please contact your retailer.
If
your radio
displays an error number, write
it
down and provide it
to your retailer when reporting the problem.
REV
(1):
Press
this
button to reverse
the
tape rapidly.
Press it again to return to playing speed. The radio will
play the last-selected station while the tape reverses. You
may select stations during
REV
operation by using
TUNE.
