Radio Data System (RDS)

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.

With RDS, the radio can do the following:

This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and will only work when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station name or call letters will appear on the display instead of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the program being broadcast.

Playing a Cassette Tape

Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin they may not work well in this player. The longer side of the tape visible should face to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape symbol will appear on the display whenever a tape is inserted. If you hear nothing or hear a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the tape and start over.

While the tape is playing, use the volume and seek buttons just as you do for the radio. The display will show TP and an arrow showing which side of the tape is playing. The tape player automatically begins playing the other side when it reaches the end of the tape.

If you want to insert a tape while the ignition is off, first press the eject button located to the left of the tape slot or the DISP knob. Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will work in your cassette tape player.

Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted.

SEEK : Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection for seek to find the next or previous selection. Press the down arrow to go to the previous selection on the tape if the current selection has been playing for less than three seconds. If pressed when the current selection has been playing from 3 to 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the previous selection or the beginning of the current selection, depending upon the position on the tape. If pressed when the current selection has been playing for more than 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the current selection. TAPE SEEK and a negative number will appear on the display while the cassette player is in the previous mode. Pressing the down arrow multiple times will increase the number of selections to be searched back. Press the up arrow to go to the next selection on the tape. If you press the up arrow more than once, the player will continue moving forward through the tape. TAPE SEEK and a positive number will appear on the display.

Cassette Tape Messages

TIGHT TAPE: If this message appears on the radio display, the tape will not play because the tape is tight and the player cannot turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is working properly.

BROKEN TAPE: If this message appears on the radio display, the tape will not play because of one of the following:

CLEAN TAPE: If this message appears on the display, the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. See Care of the Cassette Tape Player . If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer when reporting the problem.

CD Adapter Kits

It is possible to use a portable CD player with your cassette tape player after disabling the tight/loose tape sensing feature on your tape player.

To disable the feature, use the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the SRCE button. The radio will display READY and flash the cassette tape symbol.
4. Insert the adapter into the cassette slot. It will power up the radio and begin playing.

If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the ignition or radio, the CD will start playing, where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.

If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. You may experience an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur try a known good CD.

Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught in the CD player.
