Special Features

Using Relay Play

You can load two cassette tapes to play one after the other.

Notes:

The cassettes you load should have the same Dolby NR type.

You can start relay play from either Deck 1 or Deck 2.

You can replace the tape in the idle deck during relay play.

When a tape automatically begins playing during relay play, it always starts from the forward () playback side. Be sure to set the tapes properly before starting relay play.

If the deck encounters an unrecorded portion of tape more than 15 seconds long, it fast forwards the tape until it finds another recorded portion, and resumes playback from that point (i.e., blank skip is automatically set).

1.Load a cassette tape in each tape compartment, then close the compartment doors.

2.Set DOLBY NR for the noise-reduction system you want to use. See “Dolby Noise Reduction” on Page 7.

3.Set REV MODE to RELAY/SKIP.

4.Press or on Deck 1 or 2. Playback starts. See “Playback Sequence.”

5.Adjust the volume, tone, and balance control on your receiver/ amplifier for the desired sound.

6.To stop relay play before it automatically stops, press STOP () on the deck that is playing any time during playback.

Playback Sequence

The cassette deck repeats the following sequence 8 times (up to 32 sides).

Where playback starts in the sequence depends on which play button you press first:

I.Side facing out, Deck 1

II. Side facing in, Deck 1

III. Side facing out, Deck 2

IV.

Side facing in, Deck 2

When you press on Deck 1, playback starts at I.

When you press on Deck 1, playback starts at II.

When you press on Deck 2, playback starts at III.

When you press on Deck 2, playback starts at IV.
