CASSETTE DECK OPERATION

The system has one cassette deck for normal 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 automatically stops and releases the tape.

LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE
