CASSETTE DECK OPERATION
The system has two cassette decks.
You can use both for normal playback
and consecutive play, and you can
also use Deck 1 for dubbing (record-
ing).
Both Deck 1 (1 RECORD/PLAY-
BACK) and Deck 2 (PLAYBACK 2)
have a full-release auto-stop system
to protect tapes and prevent pinch roll-
er damage. When a tape reaches the
end of a side, the tape mechanism au-
tomatically stops and releases the
tape.

tape in either D eck 1 or Deck 2.
