Cassette Tape Error Indicator

When the cassette player detects a problem, either just after it is loaded or while it is playing, it will attempt to work around the error. If the cassette player cannot continue to play the tape, it will eject it and switch to the radio mode.

If a problem is detected, the radio will display: the error message, the radio frequency that is playing. and the time. Each message will appear for 5 seconds. These error messages and their meanings are as follows:
^ E10-Cassette too tight.
^ E11-Cassette broken.
^ E13-communication problem.

This error indicator feature may not work with certain types of adapters for add-on CD players. If there is not tension on the reels of the cassette player, it will interpret the adapter as a broken tape and eject it.
