KE-BIZBM-O:
1. CASSETTE OPERATION
To use the cassette, the radio must be in “ON” position.
Inserting atape cassette automatically switches the unit
and dual function controls from the radio to the tape mode.
2. LOGIC CONTROL
This radio utilizes logic circuitry that automatically deter-
mines the correct direction for fast forward and rewind. A
standard cassette has two sides that are played in either
direction. When acassette is playing, the top side will be
indicated on the display as program “SIDE 1the bottom
side will be program “SIDE 2”.
3. FAST FORWARD/REWIND
TAPE SEEK
The fast forward/rewind lever employs 2-step operation.
Raising the lever one step is used for fast forward, while
lowering the lever one step is used for fast rewind. Fast
forward/rewind can be cancelled by raising or lowering
the lever again one step. Raising or lowering the fast for-
ward/rewind lever two steps (as far as It will go) activates
the tape seek operation. “SEEK” will appear on the Liquid
Crystal Display. Raising the lever automatically moves the
tape to the next selection on the tape for playback. Lower-
ing the lever returns the tape to the beginning of the cur-
rent selection for playback.
Tape “SEEK” will only function If four seconds of silence
exist between selections. However, excessive record
player stylus noise, due to dust or scratches on the record
on home-recorded tapes may interfere with these func-
tions.
The cassette automatically ejects from the unit if tape
setting operations cannot be completed within afew sec-
onds. This may be caused by afaulty or damaged cas-
sette. Determine the cause of the problem or use a
different cassette.
4. PROGRAM
Press the volume knob to reverse the current direction of
tape transport. The tape will automatically reverse when
the end of either side is reached.
5. DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION
Dolby Noise Reduction reduces the level of “tape hiss”
inherent in cassettes by “encoding” the tape. Use of the
Dolby NR function with non-Dolby NR tapes will decrease
high frequency response. By not using the Dolby NR func-
tion with Dolby NR encoded tapes, the high frequency
response will be intensified. The symbol “”will appear
on the display when the Dolby NR button is pressed.
6. TAPE EJECT (T1I\
Press the eject (EJ) button to eject tape cassette and
return to the radio mode.
7. AUTOMATIC EQUALIZATION
The playback equalization of NORMALtapes differs from
CHROME (CrOg), and METAL tapes. When ahigh biased
tape (including metal) Is Inserted, the unit will automati-
cally change to the correct equalization level and “MTL”
will be Indicated on the liquid crystal display.
8. SKIP BLANK (SB) (Tli)
The skip blank function causes the unit to automatically
advance the tape to the next recorded portion when a
blank section of tape exceeds approximately 12 seconds.
When along unrecorded portion Is detected at the end of a
tape, the unit advances the tape to the end and then
switches to the other side of the tape. The indicator “SB”
appears on the display when the skip blank (SB) button is
pressed. Additionally “SEEK” will be displayed while the
tape is automatically advanced during skip blank opera-
tion.
9. IGNITION “KEY OFF” PAUSE
When the ignition is turned off while atape is playing, the
cartridge will automatically enter the pause mode (pinch
roller release). When the ignition Is turned on the unit will
return to the normal play mode. When the unit is in the
pause mode it will not accept another cassette.
10.
AUTOMATIC TAPE SLACK CANCELLER (ATSC)
The automatic tape slack canceller removes any slack in
the cassette tape before play to protect and extend the life
of your tapes.
11. ROTATING TAPE HEAD
The rotating tape head in your tape cassette player
ensures accurate horizontal tape alignment in both direc-
tions for optimum sound level reproduction and frequency
response.
NOTE:
Your BMW ANTI-THEFT Radio contains afull logic computer
controlled 3-motor drive which controls the automatic ^pe
slack canceller (ATSC) and rotating tape head mechanism.
During cassette tape loading/unloading or tape transport
directional changes the operation of the motor drive ernits an
audible “precision like” mechanical sound which indicates
normal tape cassette player operation.
