AM-FM Stereo W/CASS Tape Player and AUTO Tone Control (UL0)
ULO Radio:
PLAYING THE RADIO
PWR VOL: Press this knob to turn the system on and off. To increase volume, turn the knob clockwise. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. The faster the "PWR VOL" knob is rotated, the quicker the radio goes to maximum. The knob is capable of rotating continuously.
RECALL: Display the time with the ignition off by pressing this button. When the radio is playing, press this button to recall station frequency.
SCV: This system has a feature called Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With SCV, the audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper knob clockwise to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive, SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary, to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume level should always sound the same to you as you drive. If you don't want to use SCV turn the control all the way down. Each detent on the control ring allows for more volume compensation at a faster rate of speed.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin they may not work well in this player. If a tape is inserted when the ignition is on but the radio is off, the tape will begin playing. A tape symbol is shown in the center of the graphic display whenever a tape is inserted. When a tape is active, the tape symbol will be accompanied by a direction arrow.
While the tape is playing, use the "VOL, "AUTO TONE," "BAL," "FADE," "BASS" and "TREB" controls just as you do for the radio. Other controls may have different functions when a tape is inserted. The display will show the tape symbol and an arrow to show which side of the tape is playing.
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, it may not be in squarely. Press "EJECT" to remove the tape and start over.
The player is able to detect a tight or broken tape, and will eject the tape. The radio will go back to playing the last station selected.

PROG (2): Press this button to play the other side of the tape.
NEXT (3): Press this button or the "SEEK" right arrow to search for the next selection on the tape. If you hold the button or press it more than once, the player will continue moving forward through the tape. Your tape must have at least three seconds of silence between each selection for "NEXT" or "SEEK" to work. The tape direction arrow blinks during "NEXT" or "SEEK" operation. The sound will mute during "NEXT" or "SEEK" operation. Press this button or one of the "SEEK" arrows again to return to normal play.
