Cassette Tape Player (ULO)

TO PLAY A CASSETTE (ULO)
Tapes may be played with the ignition ON or OFF. If the ignition is ON, but the radio is OFF, the tape will begin playing. A tape symbol, accompanied by tape direction arrows, is shown in the center of the graphic display whenever a tape is playing.

Tapes are end-loaded into these players. Insert the tape squarely through the door, exposed tape side of the cassette facing the right. When the tape is fully inserted, the AM/FM portion of the radio will turn Off and the tape will begin playing.

These tape players are built to work best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin, they may not work well in these players.

The player automatically senses the tape cartridge for metal or CR02 tape media and presets the pre-emphasis. For metal tapes, a metal tape indicator will be displayed. Any time a tape is inserted, the top side is selected for play first.

Once the tape is playing, use the volume, balance fade, treble, and bass just as with the radio. An arrow indicates which side of the tape is being played.

CD ADAPTER KITS
Although this is not a recommended practice, it is possible to use a CD adapter kit with your cassette tape player.

The adapter kit cassette should begin playing like a regular audio cassette tape once inserted. If the cassette immediately ejects, turn the radio off, turn the ignition on and press and hold the TAPE AUX button until the tape icon flashes on the display. Insert the adapter cassette again. It will power up the radio and begin playing.

This override routine will remain active until EJECT is pressed.

PREVIOUS (PREV)
Press SEEK or PREV to search for the previous selection. A minimum three-second blank gap is required for proper operation. The tape direction arrow blinks during SEEK operation. Audio is muted during SEEK.

PROGRAM (PROG)
Press PROG to play the other side. Tape direction will reverse.

NEXT (NEXT)
Press SEEK or NEXT to search for the next selection. If you hold this push-button, or press it more than once, the tape will advance further. NEXT will appear in the display. Audio is muted during NEXT.

REVERSE (REV)
To rewind the tape, press REV. The tape will rapidly reverse to the beginning of the tape or until you press the REV push-button. The radio will play the last-selected station during REV operation.

DOLBY� NOISE REDUCTION
Press the Dolby push-button to reduce inherent tape noise such as hiss. The Dolby� symbol will appear in the display.

FAST FORWARD (FWD)
To fast forward the tape, press FWD. The tape will rapidly advance to the end of the tape or until you press the FWD push-button again. The radio will play the last-selected station during FWD operation.

TAPE/AUXILIARY (TAPE/AUX)
To switch between tape and radio, after a tape has been installed, press the AM/FM pushbuttons. The radio will play. To return to the tape, press TAPE AUX. The display will show the proper tape direction indicator.

EJECT
To remove the tape, press EJECT. The radio will play. EJECT may be activated with either ignition or radio OFF. Cassettes may be loaded with the radio off.

TAPE CLEAN INDICATOR
UNO/ULO (w/remote cassette) models have an indicator that appears every 50 hours or so of tape operation, as a reminder that the capstan and pinch roller need to be cleaned. This cleaning does not require that the tape player be removed from the vehicle. Refer to "Tape Player and Cassette Care".
