Playing a Cassette Tape

The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right. If the ignition and the radio are on, the tape can be
inserted and will begin playing. 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
AUDIO controls just as you do for the radio. Other
controls may have different functions when a tape is
inserted. The display will show an arrow to show which
side of the tape is playing.

If you want to insert a tape when the ignition or radio is
off, first press the eject button or DISP. Cassette tape
adapter kits for portable compact disc players will work
in your cassette tape player.

Your tape bias is set automatically.

If an error appears on the display, see “Cassette Tape
Messages” later in this section.
