Cassette Player Operation

Delco(R) AM/FM Stereo, Cassette Player, Compact Disc (CD) Player And Clock:

The ignition switch must be in the ACC or ON position for the cassette player to operate. The cassette player is designed to work best with tapes which are 60 to 90 minutes long. Tapes longer than this are thinner and may not function properly in this unit. Do not use these tapes to diagnose the cassette player. The side of the cassette with the tape visible should face to the right when inserted in the unit. If there is no sound or just a garbled sound, it may not be sitting squarely in the player. Press the STOP and then EJECT buttons to remove the tape and reinsert it. Once the tape is playing, the volume, balance and fade controls function in the same manner as with the radio. The tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or chrome tape is inserted, MTL will appear on the display.

Tape Direction Indicators
The side of the tape being played (top or bottom) is indicated by the arrows at the far left of the display.

Fast Forward
Press the 3 (FF) button to rapidly advance to another part of the tape. Press the 3 (FF), RCL or STOP buttons to return to normal playing speed. The radio will resume playing while the tape is in the fast forward mode.

Press the 6 (NXT) button to move rapidly to the beginning of the next selection. For the next selection function to operate properly, there must be 3 to 4 seconds of silence between selections on the tape. NXT appears in the display when activated. To cancel NXT press NXT, STOP or RCL.
