Cassette Tape Messages
CHK TAPE (Check Tape): If this message appears on
the radio display, the tape won’t play because of one of
the following errors.
D The tape is tight and the player can’t 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.
D The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
D The tape is wrapped around the tape head. Attempt
to get the cassette out. Try a new tape.
CLEAN: 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” in the Index.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’t be
corrected, contact your dealer.
CD Adapter Kits
It is possible to use a portable CD player adapter kit
with your cassette tape player after disabling the
tight/loose tape sensing feature on your tape player.
To disable the feature, use the following steps:
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold the TAPE CD button. The radio will
display READY and flash the cassette icon.
3. Insert the adapter into the cassette slot. It will power
up the radio and begin playing.
This override routine will remain active until EJT
is pressed.
Playing a Compact Disc
Insert a disc partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in and the disc should begin playing.
The display will show the CD symbol. If you want to
insert a compact disc with the ignition off, first press
DISP or EJT.
If an error appears on the display, see “Compact Disc
Messages” later in this section.
