Tape Player: Description and 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. Face the exposed tape side of the cassette 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 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 CRO2 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 playing.
Previous (PREV)
^
Press the SEEK or the PREV push buttons in order to search for the previous selection. The tape direction arrow blinks during SEEK operation.
^
A minimum 3 second blank gap is required for proper operation.
^
Audio is muted during SEEK.
Program (PROG)
Press the PROG push button in order to play the other side of a tape.
The tape direction will reverse automatically.
Next (NEXT)
Press the SEEK or NEXT push buttons in order to search for the next selection.
If you hold this push button, or press the push button more than once, the tape will advance further.
Reverse (REV)
Press REV in order to rewind the tape. The tape will rapidly reverse to the beginning of the cassette or until you press the REV push-button a second
time. The radio will play the last selected station during the REV operation.
Dolby(R) Noise Reduction
Press the Dolby(R) push-button in order to reduce inherent tape noise such as hiss. The Dolby(R) symbol will appear in the display.
Fast Forward (FWD)
Press FWD in order to fast-forward the tape. 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 the FWD operation.
Tape/Auxiliary (TAPE/AUX)
Press the AM/FM push buttons after inserting a tape in order to switch from tape to radio. The radio will play.
In order to return to tape, press TAPE/AUX. The display will show the proper tape direction indicator.
Elect (EJECT)
In order to remove the tape, press EJECT. EJECT may be activated with either the ignition or the radio OFF.
The radio will play upon ejection if the radio is on. Cassettes may be loaded with the radio OFF.
CD Adapter Kits
Although not a recommended practice, you may use a CD adapter kit with a cassette tape player.
The adapter kit cassette should begin playing like a regular audio cassette tape once inserted. If the cassette immediately ejects, perform the following
steps:
1. Turn the ignition ON.
2. Turn the radio OFF.
3. Press and hold the TAPE AUX button.
4. Wait for the tape icon to flash on the display while holding the TAPE AUX button.
5. Insert the adapter cassette again.
The adapter cassette will power up the radio and begin playing.
This override routine will remain active until EJECT is pressed.
Tape Clean Indicator
ULO models have an indicator that appears every 50 hours or so of tape operation, as a reminder that the capstan and the pinch roller need cleaning.
This cleaning does not require that you remove the tape player from the vehicle. Refer to Cassette Player Care and Cleaning.
