CASSETTE DECK OPERATION

The system has one cassette deck for cassette tape playback and re- cording. The deck has a full-release auto-stop system to protect tapes and prevent pinch roller damage. When a tape reaches the end of a side, the tape mechanism automati- cally stops and releases the tape.

3.Insert the cassette tape into the tape guides in the compartment door, with its exposed tape edge facing down, the side you want play facing you, and its full reel to the left.

4.Close the compartment door.

LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE
