Radio Messages CALIBRATE: The audio system has been calibrated for your vehicle from the factory. If CALIBRATE appears on the display, it means that the radio has not been configured properly for the vehicle and must be returned to your GM dealer for service. Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will work in the cassette tape player. See "CD Adapter Kits" later for more information. The tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted. If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape Messages" later in this section. Playing a Cassette Tape The 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 to the right. If you hear nothing or hear a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the tape and start over. If the ignition and radio are off, press the eject button or the RCL knob to insert and to begin play of a tape. If the ignition is on and the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE, TONE, EQ, and SEEK 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 will play the other side of the tape when it reaches the end. \1 (Forward): Press this pushbutton to quickly advance the tape. Press this pushbutton again to return to playing speed. The radio will play while the tape advances. Select stations during forward operation by using TUNE. While in forward mode, FREQ and FWD and two right arrows will appear on the display. If the radio is playing a RDS station, FREQ will appear on the display. y2 (Side): Press this pushbutton to play the other side of the tape. 4s (Reverse): Press this pushbutton to quickly reverse the tape. Press it again to return to playing speed. The radio will play while the tape reverses. You may select stations during reverse operation by using TUNE. 3-86
