USING THE CASSETTE DECK

You can use the system’s two cas- sette decks for normal playback, consecutive play, and recording.

Both decks have a full-release auto- stop system to protect tapes and prevent pinch roller damage. When a tape reaches the end while playing or recording, it automatically stops and the tape-handling parts automatically release.

To use a cassette deck, use the con- trol buttons under the deck where the tape is loaded.

2. Press TAPE. TAPE appears.

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

LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE

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

1.Before loading a 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 might become tangled in the record/playback mechanism.

4.Load the cassette by placing it in the tape guides in the cassette compartment door, with its open edge down, the desired side fac- ing out, and its full reel to the left.

5. Gently close the compartment door.
