To Play a Cassette  Tape 
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.

side with the  tape visible should  face to the 
right.  If you  hear  nothing  or hear  just  a  garbled  sound, 
it 
may  not  be in squarely. Press HA to remove the tape  and 
start over. 
Once  the  tape  is playing,  use the knobs  for  volume,  fade 
and  balance,  just  as you  do

of  the last selection. Press  PREV again or press 
RCLPROG or WA to cancel this function.
