Stereo Car Cassette (120-2002) Cassette Operation Faxback Doc. # 6920 PLAYING A CASSETTE Warning: To prevent hearing damage, always turn the volume to its lowest level before you begin listening to a tape. Note: 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. Press PUSH RADIO to turn on the stereo. 3. Insert the tape into the cassette compartment with its open edge to the right and the side you want to hear facing up. The tape begins to play and the direction indicator appears on the display. 4. Adjust VOLUME, TONE, FADER, and BALANCE as desired. 5. Press ^ all the way to stop the tape and eject the cassette. Notes: When the tape reaches either end while playing or fast-forwarding, the cassette player automatically changes the tape's direction and plays the other side of the tape. Play continues until you press ^. During play, you can switch to the other side of the cassette by momentarily pressing << and >> at the same time until the direction indicator on the display changes direction. If you play a cassette tape several times, the tape can become tightly wound on either hub. This can cause distortion. To restore the correct tension, fast-forward through the entire cassette in both directions. FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND To fast-forward or quickly rewind the current side, firmly press >> or << respectively until the button locks and the tape quickly winds. Play resumes when the end of the tape is reached. To stop fast winding before the end of the tape, gently press and release the opposite button. Play continues in the same direction. Note: Fast-forwarding always quickly moves the tape in the same direction the tape is currently playing and rewind always quickly moves the tape in the opposite direction the tape is currently playing.
