CASSETTE OPERATION
BASIC FUNCTIONS
To play a cassette, turn on the radio, then insert the
cassette into its port, side 1 or A facing up. Inserting
a cassette automatically selects the TAPE mode.
The "cassette in" symbol
at the lower right corner
of the display will illuminate. If AM, FM, WB or CD is
currently selected and a cassette is already in the
mechanism, press the TAPE button to begin
cassette operation. The proper tape equalization for
normal or chrome/metal tape is automatically
selected. At the conclusion of the first side played,
the auto-reverse mechanism will automatically
begin playing the other side of the tape. When a
tape is inserted, all dual-function controls and
displays - those that function differently in radio and
cassette player modes -switch to the cassette
player mode.
EJECT
To remove a cassette, push the eject (EJ) button.
The tape will automatically disengage and can be
removed from the cassette port. Ejecting a
cassette switches the system back to the last radio
mode (AM or FM) which was used prior to TAPE. If
the ignition is turned off while a cassette is playing,
the cassette will remain in the port. Switching the
radio ON will restart the tape.
Note:
The cassette can be ejected if the radio is OFF even
if it is in a CODE condition.
DOLBY® B AND C NOISE REDUCTION
This function, which is activated by pressing the
Dolby noise-reduction button, reduces background
hiss while playing a cassette that was recorded
using the Dolby B or Dolby C noise-reduction
systems. Most prerecorded cassettes indicate which
type of noise reduction was used during recording (if
any). The display will show which system is
selected.
