Playing a Cassette Tape With this option, the remote single cassette player is mounted near the bottom of the instrument panel, above the ashtray and below the HVAC controls. 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. With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. Once the tape is playing, use the control knobs for VOL, BAL, FADE, BASS and TREB just as you do for the radio. A lighted cassette symbol shows when a cassette tape is in the player. A lighted arrow will also appear and show the direction of play when a tape is active. REV (4): Press this button to rapidly reverse the tape. The tape will rapidly reverse to the beginning of the cassette reel or until you press REV again. Use the SEEK button or the TUNE knob to play the radio during REV. The radio plays the last selected station. (5): Press this button to reduce background tape noise (noise reduction is only available in the cassette mode). The double-D symbol will appear on the display. FWD (6): Press this button to rapidly advance the tape. The tape will rapidly advance to the end of the cassette reel or until you press FWD again. Use the SEEK button or the TUNE knob to play the radio during FWD. The radio plays the last selected station. 3-19
