Playing a Cassette Tape Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 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. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press EJECT toremove the tape and start over. While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL, TREB, BASS, TONE, SEEKand SCAN controls just as you do for the radio. (The TONE control is not available on the Bose radio.) The display will show TP with a box around it and an arrow to show which side of the tape is playing. Your tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or chrome tape is inserted, HI-BIAS appears on the display. If youwant to insert a tape when the ignition is off, first press EJECT or RCL. If E and a number appear on the radio display and the tape won't play because of an error, it could be that: E10: The tape is tight and the player can't turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right hub to the left with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is working properly. E l l : The tape is broken. Try a new tape. If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be corrected, please contact your retailer. If your radio displays an error number, write it down and provide it to your retailer when reporting the problem. REV (1): Press this button to reverse the tape rapidly. Press it again to return to playing speed. The radio will play the last-selected station while the tape reverses. You may select stations during REV operation by using TUNE. 3-14
