CAL (Calibration): Your audio system has been
calibrated for your vehicle from the factory. If CAL
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, AUDIO and
SEEK controls just as you do for the radio. The radio
will display UP or the up symbol if the top side of the
tape is playing. DN or the down symbol will appear if
the bottom side is playing.
If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off, first
press the eject button or the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
1 PREV (Previous): Press this button or the left SEEK
arrow to go to the previous selection on the tape if the
selection has been playing for less than three seconds. If
PREV or the left SEEK arrow is pressed and the current
selection has been playing for more than 13 seconds, it
will go to the beginning of the current selection. If
PREV or the left SEEK arrow is pressed and the current
selection has been playing from 3 to 13 seconds, it will
go to the beginning of the previous selection or the
beginning of the current selection, depending on the
position on the tape. PRE will appear on the display
while the cassette player is in previous mode. Your tape
must have at least three seconds of silence between each
selection for previous to work. The sound will mute
while seeking.
2 NEXT: Press this button or the right SEEK arrow to
go to the next selection on the tape. NXT will appear on
the display while the cassette player is in NEXT mode.
Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence
between each selection for next to work. The sound will
mute while seeking.
3 REV (Reverse): Press this button to reverse the
tape rapidly. REV will appear on the display. 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
or SEEK.
