When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. The TRAF icon and TRAFFIC will appear on the display while the traffic announcement plays. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. 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 to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape symbol is shown on the display whenever a tape is inserted. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press EJT to remove the tape and start over. While the tape is playing, use the volume, fade, balance, treble, bass, 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. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off, first press EJT or DISP. If an error appears on the display, see "Cassette Tape Messages" later in this section. 1 PREV: Press this button or the left SEEK PSCAN arrow to go to the previous selection on the tape if the selection has been playing for less than three seconds. If the 1 PREV button or the left SEEK PSCAN arrow is pressed and the current selection has been playing for more than 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the current selection. If the 1 PREV button or the left SEEK PSCAN arrow is pressed and the current selection has been playing from 3 to 13 seconds, it will go to the beginning of the previous selection or the beginning of the current selection, depending upon the position on the tape. SEEK and a "-1" will appear on the display while the cassette player is in the previous mode. If 1 PREV or the left SEEK PSCAN arrow is pressed additional times or held, the radio will go to the displayed number of previous selections up to "9". SEEK and a negative number will appear on the display. Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection for previous to work. The sound will mute while seeking. 3-39
