CHANGING THE TAPE
DIRECTION
You can change the tape’s direction using the FWD/ REV switch. To listen to the tape’s forward side (fac- ing out), set the switch to FWD. To listen to the tape’s reverse side (facing in), set the switch to REV.
DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION
Your cassette player uses the Dolby B Noise-Reduc- tion system to reduce background noise or tape hiss on your tapes. When a Dolby-encoded tape is re- corded, the Dolby circuit listens to the program mate- rial to find soft passages where you might later be able to hear the tape noise. The Dolby NR system in- creases the recording level during these passages. When you play the tape, the circuit reduces the vol- ume of these passages to their original levels and re- duces the level of tape hiss to as little as one-third of the usual noise level.
