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 and the radio must be turned on. Insert the cassette squarely through the door. When the tape is fully inserted, the radio will turn off and the tape will begin playing.

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 advance the tape, press the "seek |>" button and tape will rapidly advance until this button is pressed again. To reverse the tape, press the "SEEK <|" button and the tape will reverse rapidly until this button is pressed again. When the tape reaches the end of a side, it will automatically reverse and play the other side of the tape.

The cassette player is turned off by ejecting the tape, turning the upper knob off or rotating the ignition lock cylinder to "LOCK," "OFF" or "START." When this occurs, the tape player will either eject the cassette automatically or the internal tape drive and roller will retract automatically. This is to protect the tape player and cassette tape.

For the best operation of the cassette player do not use cassette tapes longer than 30 minutes per side.

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 die left. When the indicator arrow on the right side is on, the tape direction is to the right.

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

TAPE EJECT BUTTON
Press "STOP-EJECT" to eject tape or to stop the tape and switch to the radio.
