Adjusting the Speakers
BAL: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the knoD
to move the sound to the left
01- 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, TONE, SEEK and SCAN 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.
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 to the
left 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.
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.
