IN jacks. They should be used together with the TRIM controls (see 3.3, “Setting the level”) to adjust the levels of the sig- nals routed to the tape tracks.

[16]RECORD indicator

This red indicator lights when the RECORD and PLAY keys are pressed, and at least one of the

switches is not in the SAFE position.

Pressing RECORD and PLAY while both REC FUNCTION switches are set to SAFE has the same effect as pressing PLAY.

[17]Transport controls

These work in the same way as the con- trols on most cassette recorders. How- ever, there are a few points you should note:

•Pressing the RECORD key will also press down the PLAY key.

•If the left record-protect tab of the cas- sette has been broken out, or if there is no cassette loaded, the RECORD key cannot be pressed.

•It is not possible to go directly from recording into playback mode.

•The PAUSE key only pauses playback and recording. It is not possible to pause the tape in fast forward and rewind modes.

•All keys lock down when pressed, except for the STOP key, and only work when locked down.

[18]Cassette compartment

cover

The hinged cassette compartment cover is opened by lifting the tab on the right side.

There is no eject mechanism. You load and unload cassettes by hand, using a fin- ger or fingers in the space to the right of the cassette.
