General Operation
^ If the ignition is ON but the radio is OFF, and a tape is inserted, 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.
^ The tape player works best with tapes that are 30-45 minutes long on each side. Longer tapes may not work well in the cassette player because the tapes are so thin.
^ 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 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.
