WR1 Standard Stereo Question

[Scutch]

This is a long shot, as we're way past this stage now, but when using the cassette (perhaps to listen to East 17 or Hanson ) I can forward and rewind with no problems at all, but how do you actually play the damn thing without having to eject the cassette and put it back in?

I cant find a play button to use after the rewind or forward

[Megaman]

I dont think ive even got a tape in the house now so i cant go test it!!

[MY498]

Scutch, youre not trying to get one of those old John Denver 8-track cassettes to play are you...

[Houdini]

What a brilliant, original question!! Funnily enough, the 1.5R has the same audio set-up (ahem!). I must have a look tomorrow

[danr55]

I had that stero the whole time I had my wr1, and have the same stereo in my STi, and I have NEVER tried to use a tape!! I hate the stereo and really must change it but simply cant afford to for a looong time now i think.

Does this mean you are being inhibited by red tape?

[Megaman]

im still 'd that someone is using a TAPE... Should i get my ZX Spectrum out too so you can have that for the back passengers instead of a PS2?

[presa900]

I think you just have to tap the opposite buttom to play it again

Crap stereo....was one of the first things I replaced, touch screen double din looks far more

[Mac-1]

Whats a cassette

[shaun]

When i picked my car up, my missus was fiddling about with the stereo, and found a learn to speak Spanish tape in it, she wondered if the Stig ever owned my car!

[Rooter75]

think you just press the tape button, press it again for auto reverse i think, i'll have to find some of my happy hardcore tapes out and give em a blast

[Megaman]

Yer but TAPES

Yer but TAPES

You would be amazed how good a tape can sound when played on a Nakimichi Dragon or 1000ZXL !

[Megaman]

Yer i bet... and when you want to play a song at the end of the tape you have to wait 10mins to FFwd the thing...

I remember the days when you used to have to turn the tape over when it reached the end. I wonder if the scoob default radio plays to the end then auto reverses the tape and plays side b too..

tshh i cant believe u lot have got me wanting to try a tape in my head unit... its nearly the weekend - must resist!!

[Megaman]

Anyway at the other end of the scale we have people changing IPods with 60GB storage for 80GB storage or higher these days. I mean how is anyone ever going to listen to that much music in their whole ownership of a car i will never know... Stick with CD's... at least when theyre old n scratched you can frizbee them at someone/thing...

[Scutch]

I normally use CD's, and in my previous cars MP3's or DVD discs (depending on the headunit) but just thought I'd ask as I found some VERY old tapes and they were worth a blast from the past.

Will try the Tape button thing tomorrow! Cheers

[Mark]

You do just press the tape button while the tape its fasforwarding or rewinding to start playing

[CAVEMAN]

ha ha..and to save the batteries on my walkman I used to stick the tape on a biro and spin it around!!

crikey....thank christ those days are over!

[WR1 Bro]
