Cut Tape Bypass

The Cut Tape Bypass feature detects when a cassette tape breaks or becomes too tight to play. When this is detected the tape will stop playing and eject.

To activate the Cut Tape Bypass feature follow these steps:

1. The radio must be OFF and in one of the following modes.
   • Retained accessory power (RAP)
   • RUN power mode
   • ACCESSORY power mode
2. Press and hold the SOURCE button for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds the TAPE ICON appears and begins to flash for 5 seconds. The text READY is displayed and the TAPE ICON will flash.

   The feature is now active.

3. The Cut Tape Bypass will remain On until the accessory is ejected.

Without the activation of the Cut Tape Bypass feature accessories, like scrubbing type tape head cleaners and CD adapter kits (which have no internal tape for the radio to sense), will be ejected.
