Couple of quick ????s about OEM cassette player

[FuryNSX]

Not so recently, I had the local dealership take a look at my OEM stereo for some minor issues that I had with it. After getting it back, it seemed okay and I left it at that. Since then, I haven't used my cassette deck in my NSX in almost a year, and after putting in a tape today, button functionality was different than what I remember.

1) Powering OFF causes the entire tape to eject. Is this normal? I thought the tape remained inside but the tape heads released.

2) In order to go back and forth between tapes and radio/CDs, I need to eject the cassette or push the tape back in. I thought I could cycle between AM/FM/CD/Tape with the AM/FM button. As it is, I can only cycle between AM/FM/CD. Was I mistaken?

Obviously, my main problem was that I don't remember having to eject the tape so much. Is this thing working right? Maybe I'm just getting old and losing my memory.

Yes, you were mistaken.

I sure wish the tape would stay in the deck. I use a cassette tape adapter for my iPod and its a pain to have to push the cassette in every time I get back into my car. It would be a lot less strenuous on the drive if it didn't eject it every time.

I feel your pain, Fury.

Come to think of it, I've owned my NSX for five years and have yet to install a cassette tape in the tape deck. And I don't plan to.

On MY NSX the tape stays in when I power off. No need to push the cassette back in every time. Maybe there's a difference between European and US models ??

I confirm, mine remains in too! Strange we have this kind of difference on such a detail that has nothing to do with regulations/safety/smog...

No, Ken just plays a lot more tapes than you!
