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. If a tape is inserted when the ignition is on but
the radio is off, the tape will begin playing. A tape
symbol is shown in the center of the graphic display
whenever a tape is inserted. When a tape is active, the
tape symbol will be accompanied by a direction arrow.

BAL, FADE, BASS and TREB controls just as you
do for the radio. Other controls may have different

not be in squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and
start over.
The player is able to detect a tight or broken tape, and
