u Adjusting speaker fader Fade control allows you to adjust the sound distribution between the front and rear speakers. Press the top (c) of the "FADE" button to shift the sound to the front speakers, and press the bottom (d) of the "FADE" button to shift the sound to the back speakers. NOTE: Illuminated bars in the display show relative levels of bass and treble, and positions of speaker balance and fader functions (left to right, front to rear). Using the Controls of Your Cassette Tape Player NOTE: Radio power must be on to use the cassette tape player or eject a tape. 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. NOTE: A cassette tape can be loaded with the ignition on whether or not the radio power is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the radio power off will turn the audio system on. After the cassette is ejected, radio play will return. Also, the antenna will be in the up position whenever the radio is playing but will go down anytime the radio is not playing (i.e., when a cassette or compact disc is playing or when the radio power is off). 163
