Basic Operation
Caution: Avoid using C-120 cassette
tapes. They are very thin and can easily
become tangled in the tape-handling
parts.
Follow these steps to play a cassette
tape.
1. Take up any slack by turning the
cassette's hub with your finger or a
pencil. Avoid touching the tape.
2. Turn
ON/VOL
clockwise until it clicks
to turn on the stereo.
3. Insert the tape into the cassette
compartment with its open edge to
the right. The tape begins to play,
and the tape indicator lights.
4. If you are playing a metal or CrO2
tape, press
MTL
. The MTL indicator
lights.
5. Adjust
VOL
,
BAL
, and
TONE
to suit
your listening preference.
6. Press all the way in to stop the
tape and eject the cassette. The
radio plays.
Caution: We recommend you press
as soon as you finish playing a tape, or
before you leave your vehicle, to release
it from the tape handling parts. This re-
duces the possibility of a tape being in-
advertently tangled or damaged.
Note: When a tape reaches the end, the
cassette player automatically stops and
the radio plays, but the cassette player
does not eject the tape.
Fast-Forward and Rewind
To fast-forward the current side, press
about halfway in and the button locks.
The tape quickly winds. To stop fast-
forward, press gently and the button
releases. To rewind a tape, simply eject
the tape by pressing all the way in, turn
the tape over, then fast-forward the other
side.
USING AN EXTERNAL
COMPONENT
You can connect a portable CD player
or another audio component (with a line-
level output or headphone jack) to the
stereo.
To make this connection, you need a
stereo mini-jack cable with a
1
/
8
