Playing A Cassette Tape (Base Level): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- In order to play a tape, the ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY or RUN position and the receiver must be turned ON.
Tapes are end-loaded into the cassette player.
- Insert the tape squarely through the door, exposed tape side of the cassette facing to the right.
- When the tape is fully inserted, the AM/FM portion of the radio will turn off and the tape will begin playing.
- The tape player works best with tapes that are 30-45 minutes long on each side.
Longer running tapes may not work well in these players because they are usually too thin.
- Once the tape is playing, the volume, balance and fade knobs operate the same as with the radio.
An arrow indicates which side of the tape is being played.
