Cassette Tape Player

If "Cln" (Clean) appears on the display when you insert your cassette tape, your cassette player needs to be cleaned. It will still play cassette tapes, but it should be cleaned to prevent damage to your cassette tape and player. Refer to "Tape Player and Cassette Care".

After you have cleaned the cassette tape player, press and hold "EJECT" for five seconds to reset the "Cln" indicator. The radio will display "- - -" to show that the clean feature has been reset.

The tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 30 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin they may not work well in this player.

To play a tape, the ignition lock cylinder must be in the "ACCESSORY" or "RUN" position. Press "EJECT" or "RECALL" to load a tape with the ignition off. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape will begin to play. Insert the cassette squarely through the door. When the tape is fully inserted, the radio will turn off and the tape will begin playing. A tape symbol will appear on the display whenever a tape is inserted.

Once the tape is playing, use "VOLUME," "BAL," "FADE," "TREBLE" and "BASS" just as for the radio. The arrow shows which side of the tape is playing.
To rapidly advance the tape, press "FWD." Press "PROG" or "REV" to stop this process. The radio will play during this operation. To rapidly reverse the tape, press "REV ." Press "PROG" or "REV" again to stop this process. The radio will play during this operation.

To play the next selection, press "NEXT" or "SEEK |>" (instead of waiting until the current selection is finished). For "NEXT" to work properly, your tape must have at least 3 seconds of silence between each selection. The radio will not play during this operation.

To replay the current selection, press "PREV" or "SEEK <|". For "PREV" to work properly, your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection. The radio will not play during this operation.

To reduce tape noise, press Dolby� symbol. This symbol will appear in the display.

Press "AM/FM" to stop playing the cassette and switch to radio. Press "TAPE/AUX" to restart the cassette at the point where it stopped.

Press "TAPE/AUX" to change to the tape function when the radio is on. If a system is equipped with a remote playback device, pressing this button a second time will allow the remote device to play.

REVERSING SIDES
Press the "PROG" button to play the other side of the tape. When the end of tape is reached, it automatically reverses direction and plays the other side.

"EJECT"
Press the "EJECT" button to remove the tape. The radio will play. "EJECT" may be activated with either the ignition or radio off. Cassettes may be loaded with the radio off if "EJECT" is pressed first.

TAPE DIRECTION INDICATORS
The direction in which the tape is being played is shown by indicator arrows. When the indicator arrow on the left side is on, the tape direction is to the left. When the indicator arrow on the right side is on, the tape direction is to the right.
