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. If
you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button, located next to
the cassette tape slot, to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, POWER,
AUDIO, AUTO EQ, and the 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. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other
side when it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If
you want to insert a
tape while the ignition
is
off,
first press the button with
the eject symbol on it or the RCL knob.
ii

play because of an error. See “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
