CHAPTER 6 Cassette Tape System
If you have the MP3 Player Option on your robot, you will not have a cassette player.
The cassette tape system is located inside the robot on the metal electronics box. The system
is activated by remote control from the remote control box. (Additional instructions are on the
next page.)
How to Play a Cassette Tape
1. Insert a regular type cassette tape into the player.
2. Depress the play button on the cassette player.
3. Move the radio tape select switch to the tape position.
4. Activate the tape from the control box.
5. Adjust the volume to desired level.
6. Press F FWD to move the tape to the next song.
The tape head of the cassette player should be cleaned after
every 25 to 30 hours of use. Always remove the cassette tape
when not in use. This will prevent flat spots on the capstan roller.
