Playing a tape (UK model only)

The tape deck features auto-reverse, Dolby B NR (noise reduction) and auto tape select. The auto-reverse feature lets you play or record both sides of the tape without physically taking it out and turning it over. Dolby B NR reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded using Dolby NR (which includes almost all commercially recorded tapes). Auto tape select means that the deck automatically detects the type of tape you're playing — normal (type I) or high-position/CrO2(type II) — so there's no need to check the tape type and switch manually. Here, we'll run through the basic tape deck controls; instructions for other features, such as recording, start on page 28.
