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 EJT 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 EJT or DISP.
If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
(Without Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio, cassette
tapes and
CDs. However, the rear seat passengers
can only control the music sources that the front seat
passengers are not listening to. For example, rear
seat passengers may listen to a cassette tape or
CD
through headphones, while the driver listens to the radio
through the front speakers. The rear seat passengers
have control of the volume for each set of headphones.
Be aware that the front seat audio controls always
have priority over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch the source for the main radio
to a remote source, the RSA will play the same remote
source. The rear speakers will be muted when the
RSA power is turned on.
You may operate the RSA
functions even when the main radio is
off.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power): Push this knob twice to turn RSA
off.
Rear Seat Radio Controls
The following functions are controlled by the RSA
system buttons:
PWR (Power): Press this button to turn
RSA on or off.
VOL (Volume): Press this knob lightly so it extends.
Turn the knob to increase or to decrease volume.
Push the knob back into its stored position when you’re
not using it. The upper
VOL knob controls the upper
headphone and the lower
VOL knob controls the lower
headphone.

through the front speakers. The rear seat passengers
have control of the volume for each set of headphones.
Be aware that the front seat audio controls always
have priority over the
