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, 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.
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
tum easily, your tape may be damaged
and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape
to make
me 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.
