Cassette Tape Player Controls How to insert a tape Your cassette tape 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. NOTE: A cassette tape can be loaded with the ignition on whether or not the radio power is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the radio power off will turn the audio system on. After the cassette is ejected, the audio system will turn off. Also, the antenna will be in the down position whenever the radio is not playing (i.e., when a cassette or compact disc is playing or when the radio power is off). How to locate a desired selection on the tape There are four ways to locate a desired selection on the tape. You can use the fast forward, rewind, "SEEK" or "SCAN" function. Following are brief descriptions of each. 1. Fast forwarding the tape To fast forward the tape, press the "FF" button. The "X" display blinks while the tape fast forwards. The radio will automatically begin playing until fast forward is manually stopped (by pressing "FF" button) or the end of the tape is reached. (At the end of the tape, the direction automatically reverses and plays the other side of the tape.) 214
