Buick 2004 Century - Manual (Page 161)

BAND: Press this button to listen to the radio when a
cassette tape or CD is playing. The inactive cassette or
CD will remain safely inside the radio for future
listening.
CD TAPE: Press this button to play a cassette tape or
a CD when listening to the radio.
Z (Eject): Press this button to eject a tape. Eject
may be activated with either the ignition or radio
off. Cassettes may be loaded with the ignition or radio
off if you press this button first.
Cassette Tape Messages
If an error message appears on the display, it could be
for one of the following reasons:
• TIGHT TAPE: The tape is tight and the player
cannot turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape.
Hold the tape with the open end down and try to
turn the right hub counterclockwise with a
pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs
do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged
and should not be used in the player. Try a new
tape to make sure your player is working properly.
• BROKEN TAPE: The tape is broken. Try a
new tape.
CLEAN PLAYER: If this message appears on the
display, the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It
will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as
possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. See
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-63.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error number, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
CD Adapter Kits
It is possible to use a portable CD player with your
cassette tape player after activating the bypass feature
on your tape player.
To activate the bypass feature, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Insert the adapter into the cassette slot.
4. Press and hold the CD TAPE button until READY
appears on the display.
The override feature will remain active until the eject
button is pressed.
