Playing a Cassette Tape Your 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 the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape symbol will appear on the display whenever a tape is inserted. 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 VOL, AUDIO, and SEEK controls just as you do for the radio. TAPE will appear on the display and an arrow showing which side of the tape is playing. The tape player automatically begins playing the other side when it reaches the end of the tape. If you want to insert a tape while the ignition is off, first press the eject button or the DISPL knob. Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will work in your cassette tape player. Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted. If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape Messages" later in this section. 1 PREV (Previous): Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection for previous to work.

If pressed when the current selection has been playing from 3 to 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the previous selection or the beginning of the current selection, depending upon the position on the tape. If pressed when the current selection has been playing for more than 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the current selection. SEEK and a negative number will appear on the display while the cassette player is in the previous mode. Pressing this pushbutton multiple times will increase the number of selections to be searched back, up to -9. 2 NEXT: Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection for next to work. Press this pushbutton to go to the next selection on the tape. If you press the pushbutton more than once, the player will continue moving forward through the tape.
