This cassette tape player is designed to work best with tapes that are 30 minutes long on each side. Longer tapes are much thinner. Thinner tape may not work well in this player.

This tape player has an automatic reverse feature. The automatic reverse feature automatically reverses the tape direction at the end of a side. Pressing PROG while the cassette tape is playing will reverse the tape direction.

To play a cassette tape perform the following procedure:

1. The ignition must be in the ACCESSORY or ON position.
2. Turn ON the radio.
3. Insert the exposed tape side of the cassette tape squarely through the tape door. If the tape is not inserted squarely no sound or a garbled sound may be heard. Press EJECT to remove the tape if no sound or a garbled sound is heard. Reinsert the exposed tape side of the cassette tape squarely through the tape door.
4. The radio will automatically turn OFF and the cassette tape will play. An arrow will appear in the VF display to indicate the direction of the play.

The following controls will function when a cassette tape is playing the same as they do during radio operation:

• PWR -VOL
• SCV
• BASS
• TREB
• BAL
• FADE
• AUTO TONE

Refer to Radio/Audio System Operation - Radio Controls.

• Turn the radio OFF. The cassette will remain in the player. The cassette will resume play at the point where it stopped.
