Adjusting the Speakers
BAL:
Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the knob
to move the sound
to the left or right speakers. The
middle position balances the sound between the speakers.
FADE: Press the knob lightly so it extends. Then pull
the knob all the way out. Turn it to move the sound to
the front or rear speakers. The middle position balances
the sound between
the speakers.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you’re not using them.
Playing 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.
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. If you hear
nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in
squarely. Press EJECT
to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the
VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS and TONE controls just as you do for the
radio. The display will show TP with a box around it
and an arrow to show which side of the tape
is playing. Your
tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted, HI-BIAS appears on the
display. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is
off, first press EJECT or RCL.
If E and a number appear on the radio display, the tape
won’t play because of an error.
0 ElO: The tape is tight and the player can’t turn
the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with
the open end down and try to
turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape
may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.
0 Ell: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly
or if an error can’t be
corrected, please contact your retailer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it
to your retailer when reporting the problem.
REV (1): Press this button to reverse the tape rapidly.
Press it again to return to playing speed. The radio will
play the last-selected station while the tape reverses.
You may select stations during REV operation by
using
TUNE.
