USING THE CASSETTE PLAYER PLAYING A CASSETTE WARNING: To protect your hearing, always turn VOL/ON to its lowest level before you begin listening to a tape. 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. If the stereo is off, turn VOL/ON clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. 3. Insert the tape into the cassette compartment with its open edge to the right and the desired side facing up. The tape begins to play. 4. Adjust VOL/ON, BASS/TREBLE, and BAL as desired. 5. Press button all the way in to stop the tape and eject it. The radio plays. CAUTION: When a tape reaches the end, the cassette player automatically stops and the radio plays, but the cassette player does not eject the tape. We recommend you press as soon as you finish playing a tape or before you leave your vehicle, to release the tape from the tape-handling parts. This reduces the possibility of a tape being inadvertently tangled or damaged. FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND To fast-forward the current side, press halfway in until it locks. The tape quickly winds. To stop fast-forward, gently press again. To rewind a tape, simply eject the tape, turn it over, then fast-forward the other side. (/all-04/09/96)
