Playing a Cassette Tape
The 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 you hear nothing or hear a
garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely.
Press EJ to remove the tape and start over.
If the ignition and radio are off, press the eject button or
the RCL knob to insert and to begin play of a tape. If
the ignition is on and the radio is off, the tape can
be inserted and will begin playing.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BASS/TREB/
FADE/BAL, and AUTO TONE controls just as you do for
the radio. The tape symbol will appear on the display
and an arrow showing which side of the tape is playing.
Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players
will work in the cassette tape player. See “CD Adapter
Kits” later for more information.
The tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
