Playing a Cassette Tape

The 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 with the tape visible should face to the right. 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.

If the ignition is on and the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and begins playing.

While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE, and BAL controls just as you do for the radio. The radio displays an arrow to show the tape direction. The tape player plays the other side of the tape when it reaches the end.

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

PR / OG (Fast Forward/Reverse): Press either arrow to either fast forward or reverse the tape, depending on the direction of the tape as indicated on the display. To stop fast forwarding or reversing, press the other arrow.

PROG (Program): Press both arrows at the same time to play the other side of the tape. An arrow appears on the display to show the tape playing direction.

AM FM: Press this button to switch between playing the radio and the tape. The inactive tape remains safely inside the radio for future listening.

(EJECT): Press this button to eject a tape. Eject may be activated with the radio off. Cassette tapes can be loaded with the ignition and radio off if this button is pressed first.
