Audio System(s)
Notice: Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle
- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can,
it’s very important to
do
it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation
of your vehicle’s engine,
Delphi Electronics radio or other systems, and
even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed
to operate easily
and
to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it
if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to
operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned
off. See
“Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” under
lgnition
Positions on page

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are

longer than that are
so thin they may not work well in
this player. The longer side with the tape visible should

you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button, located next
to
the cassette tape slot, to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, POWER,
AUDIO, AUTO EQ, and the
SEEK controls just as
you do for the radio. The display will show TAPE and
an arrow showing which side of the tape is playing. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other
side when it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted. If you want
