ALTERNATE FREQUENCY: This feature allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same program type. Press and hold AM-FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger stations. Press and hold AM-FM again for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to other stations. Adjusting the Speakers BAL-FADE: This button adjusts balance and fade. To adjust balance, press this button until BAL appears on the display. Turn the SELECT knob clockwise for the right speakers and counterclockwise for the left speakers. The middle position balances the sound between the speakers. To adjust fade, press this button until FAD appears on the display. Turn the SELECT knob clockwise to adjust the sound to the front speakers and counterclockwise for the rear speakers. The middle position balances the sound between the speakers. Press and hold this button for two seconds to return both fade and balance to the middle position. 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 out. 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 to remove the tape and start over. While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FAD, BAL, TREB, MID, BASS, EQ, SEEK and SCAN controls just as you do for the radio. The display will show TAPE 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. Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off, first press EJECT or the RCL knob. If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won't play because of an error. 3-17
