Using the Controls of Your Cassette Tape Player NOTE: Radio power must be on to use the cassette tape player. How to insert a tape Your cassette tape player is equipped with power loading. Once you insert a tape and push slightly (with the open edge to the right), the loading mechanism draws the tape the rest of the way in and play will begin after a momentary tape tightening process. Display indicates "TAPE" while tape is playing. If the player is in the tape mode but not in play, pressing the "TAPE" button will activate play. If the "TAPE" button is pressed with no tape inserted, the display will flash "NO TAPE". How to locate a desired track on the tape There are six ways to quickly locate a desired selection on the tape. You can use the fast forward, rewind, Blank Skip, "SEEK", "SCAN" or "SIDE 1-2" functions. Following are brief descriptions of each: s Fast forwarding the tape To fast forward the tape, press the "FF" button. The radio will play while the tape is in fast forward. The light above the "FF" button will blink while in the fast forward mode. Press "FF" again or press the "TAPE" button to stop fast forwarding. At the end of the tape, the direction automatically reverses and plays the other side of the tape. s Rewinding the tape To rewind the tape, press the "REW" button. The radio will automatically begin playing while the tape is rewinding. The light above the "REW" button will blink while in the rewind mode. Press "REW" again or press the "TAPE" button to stop rewinding. 214
