For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself "Radio 99" even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM broadcast frequency. Using the Controls of Your Cassette Tape Player NOTE: Radio power must be on to use the cassette tape player. NOTE: Adjust the volume, treble, bass, balance and fade controls in the same manner as for radio stations. How to insert a tape Your cassette player is equipped with power loading. Once you insert a tape and push slightly (with the open edge to the right), the loading mechanism draws the tape the rest of the way in and play will begin after a momentary tape tightening process. Display indicates "TAPE" while tape is playing. If the "TAPE" button is pressed when the cassette tape player is empty, "NO" and "TAPE" will flash in the display and radio play will continue. NOTE: A cassette tape can be loaded with the ignition on whether the radio is on or off. However, if the radio is off, the cassette tape will be loaded and stored. How to locate a desired track on the tape There are four ways to quickly locate a desired selection on the tape. You can use the fast forward, rewind, "SEEK" or "SCAN" function.
