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.
E10: 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.

displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your retailer when reporting the problem.

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.
