BAND: Press this button to listen to the radio when a cassette tape or CD is playing. The inactive cassette or CD will remain safely inside the radio for future listening. CD TAPE: Press this button to play a cassette tape or a CD when listening to the radio. CLEAN PLAYER: If this message appears on the display, the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. See Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-63. If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an error number, write it down and provide it to your dealer when reporting the problem. Z (Eject): Press this button to eject a tape. Eject may be activated with either the ignition or radio off. Cassettes may be loaded with the ignition or radio off if you press this button first. CD Adapter Kits It is possible to use a portable CD player with your cassette tape player after activating the bypass feature on your tape player. To activate the bypass feature, use the following steps: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the radio off. 3. Insert the adapter into the cassette slot. 4. Press and hold the CD TAPE button until READY appears on the display. The override feature will remain active until the eject button is pressed. Cassette Tape Messages If an error message appears on the display, it could be for one of the following reasons: • TIGHT TAPE: The tape is tight and the player cannot turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right hub counterclockwise 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. • BROKEN TAPE: The tape is broken. Try a new tape. 3-59
