•100 Hz — low-bass range (bass drums); reduces rumble or other low-frequency noise

•300 Hz — low frequencies (organ notes)

•1 KHz — here is where the ear is most sensitive (low vocals)

•3.3 KHz — mid-range high frequen- cies (high vocals)

•10 KHz — high-frequency sounds (cymbals, flutes, and violins)

The system has two cassette decks — TAPE 1 and TAPE 2. Use both decks for normal playback or consecutive play. Additionally, TAPE 1 can record cas- sette tapes.

Note: Before playing or recording any cassette tape, take up any slack in the tape by turning one of the cassette’s hubs with a pencil. If you do not remove excess slack, the tape could become tangled in the record/playback mecha- nism.

3.Press in the cassette compartment door to close it.
