PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

Note: Avoid using C-120 cassette tapes.  They are thin and can easily
      become tangled in the playback mechanism.

Follow these steps to play a cassette tape.

1.  Turn on the vehicle's ignition.  Then, turn VOLUME clockwise to turn
    on the stereo.

2.  Take up any tape slack by turning the cassette's hub.  Avoid touching
    the tape.

3.  Load the cassette into the cassette compartment with its open edge to
    the right.  The tape automatically plays and the tape direction
    indicator < or > lights.

4.  If you use metal, Hi-Bias, or Type II tape, press MTL.  MTL appears on
    the display.

5.  Press Dolby noise reduction when you play tapes that were recorded
    with Dolby noise reduction.  The Dolby NR symbol appears on the
    display.

    Press Dolby noise reduction so that Dolby noise reduction disappears
    from the display when you play a tape that was not recorded with Dolby
    noise reduction.

6.  Press LOUDNESS to boost high and low frequencies at a low volume
    level. LOUD appears on the display.

7.  Adjust VOLUME, BALANCE, BASS, TREBLE, and FADER to suit your listening
    preferences.

8.  Press the << and >> PROG buttons at the same time to play the reverse
    side of a tape during playback.  When the tape reaches the end, it
    automatically reverses the tape's direction and plays the reverse
    side.

9.  To fast-forward the tape, press the PROG button whose arrows face the
    same direction as the tape direction indicator.

10.  To rewind the tape, press the PROG button whose arrows face the
     opposite direction as the tape direction indicator.

11.  To eject the tape, press EJECT button.


USING ASMS

Your stereo's ASMS (automatic search music system) lets you quickly locate
the beginning of a selection on a tape.  To activate ASMS, press ASMS.
Then, press either << or >>.  The tape rewinds or fast-forwards, stops
at the next blank space before a selection, and begins playing the
selection.  Repeatedly press << or >> until you locate the desired
selection.

The automatic search music system might not work:

*  If the blank space between songs is less than 4 seconds.

*  If the overall recorded volume level on the tape is too low (such as
   with some classical music).

*  If the noise level between selections is very high or a hum has been
   recorded.

Press ASMS again to stop the ASMS function.
