This manual includes the latest information at the time it was printed. [. . . ] An "*" will appear next to the PTY name, for example CLASSICAL*. When you are listening to a cassette or compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast. 3-30 PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished. ALTERNATE FREQUENCY: This feature allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same program type. Press and hold AM-FM again for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. Adjusting the Speakers BAL-FADE: This button adjusts balance and fade. To adjust balance, press this button until BAL appears on the display. Turn the SELECT knob clockwise for the right speakers and counterclockwise for the left speakers. Turn the SELECT knob clockwise to adjust the sound to the front speakers and counterclockwise for the rear speakers. Press and hold this button for two seconds to return both fade and balance to the middle position. 3-31 Playing a Cassette Tape Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin they may not work well in this player. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FAD, BAL, TREB, MID, BASS, EQ, SEEK and SCAN controls just as you do for the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow showing which side of the tape is playing. The tape player automatically begins playing the other side when it reaches the end of the tape. Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off, first press EJECT or the RCL knob. If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won't play because of an error. TIGHT TAPE is displayed when the tape is tight and the player can't turn the tape hubs. Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player.
