Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 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 the eject symbol to remove the tape
and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FAD, BAL,
TREB, MID, BASS, EQ, SEEK and SCAN 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 to insert a tape
when the ignition is off, first press the cassette eject
symbol or the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won’t
play because of an error.
TIGHT TAPE is displayed when 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.
BROKEN TAPE is displayed when the tape is broken.
Try a new tape.
WRAPPED TAPE is displayed when the tape is
wrapped around the tape head. Attempt to get the
cassette out. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’t be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error message, write it down and provide
it to your dealer when reporting the problem.
