Playing a Cassette Tape
With this option, the remote single cassette player is
mounted to the bottom of the instrument panel.
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.
With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. Once the tape
is playing, use the control knobs for VOL, BAL, FADE,
BASS and TREB just as you do for the radio. A lighted
cassette symbol shows when a cassette tape is in the
player.
A lighted arrow will also appear and show the
direction
of play when a tape is active.
PREV (1): Press PREV or the SEEK down arrow
to search for the previous selection. A minimum
three-second blank gap
is needed for the player to
stop at the beginning of the selection. The tape
direction arrow will blink during the SEEK operation
and the sound will mute in this mode.
NEXT (2): Press NEXT or the SEEK up arrow to
search for the next selection. The tape direction arrow
will blink during the
SEEK operation and the sound
will mute in this mode.
REV (4): Press this button to rapidly reverse the tape.
The tape will rapidly reverse to the beginning
of the
cassette reel or until you press
REV again. Use the
SEEK button or the
TUNE knob to play the radio
during
REV. The radio plays the last selected station.
(5): Press this button to reduce background tape noise
(noise reduction is only available in the cassette mode).
The double-D symbol will appear on the display.
FWD (6): Press this button to rapidly advance the tape.
The tape will rapidly advance to the end
of the cassette
reel or until you press
FWD again. Use the SEEK button
or the TUNE knob to play the radio during
FWD. The
radio plays the last selected station.
