CASSETTE DECK OPERATION

The system has two cassette decks. You can use both for normal playback and consecutive play, and you can also use Deck 1 for dubbing (record- ing).

Both Deck 1 (1 RECORD/PLAY- BACK) and Deck 2 (PLAYBACK 2) have a full-release auto-stop system to protect tapes and prevent pinch roll- er damage. When a tape reaches the end of a side, the tape mechanism au- tomatically stops and releases the tape.

LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE

Follow these steps to load a cassette tape in either Deck 1 or Deck 2.

Note: Use the control buttons under the same deck where you loaded the tape.

1.Take up any slack in the tape by turning the cassette’s hub with a pencil. If you do not remove ex- cess slack, the tape might be- come tangled in the record/ playback mechanism. Avoid touching the tape.

2.Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.
