Setting the Reverse Mode

The tape deck can play both sides of a tape without you having to take the cassette out and turning it over by hand. This feature is called auto-reverse (because to play the other side of the tape, the tape travels in the opposite direction).

You can switch sides any time while playing a tape by pressing the TAPE button (see page 29 for how to use all the basic playback controls). The reverse mode, however, tells the deck what to do when it reaches the end of the tape on the side it's playing. There are three modes:

•ENDLESS – Play the tape round and round continu- ously: Ó

•ONE-WAY– Play one side, then stop: O

•REVERSE – Play both sides then stop: [

RŽglage du mode dÕinversion

Vous pouvez écouter les deux faces d’une cassette sans avoir à sortir et à retourner la cassette. L’inversion de la bande est automatique (c’est-à-dire que la bande change simplement de sens de défilement).

Vous pouvez changer de face à volonté pendant la lecture d’une cassette en appuyant sur la touche TAPE (voir page 29 pour utiliser les fonctions élémentaires de lecture). Le mode d’inversion indique à la platine ce qu’elle doit faire à la fin de la lecture d’une face.

Il y a trois modes d’inversion:

•ENDLESS - Lecture continue des deux faces de la cassette sans interruption: Ó

•ONE WAY - Lecture d’une face de la cassette, puis arrêt:

•REVERSE - Lecture des deux faces puis arrêt: [
