CALIBRATE: Your audio system has been calibrated
for your vehicle from the factory. If CALIBRATE
appears on the display, it means that your radio has not
been configured properly for your vehicle and must be
returned to the dealership for service.
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 button to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE,
TONE, EQ and 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 to insert a tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button or
push the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
1 (Forward): Press this pushbutton to advance
quickly to another part of the tape. Press this pushbutton
again to return to playing speed. The radio will play the
last selected station while the tape advances. You may
select stations during forward operation by using TUNE.
While in forward mode, the display will show FREQ
and FWD and two right arrows. If the radio is playing a
RDS station, the display will only show FREQ.
2 (Side): Press this pushbutton to play the other
side of the tape.
4 (Reverse): Press this pushbutton 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 reverse
operation by using TUNE.
6 (Dolby): Press this pushbutton to reduce
background noise. DOLBY NR ON will appear on the
display. Press it again to turn Dolby NR off.
