CASSETTE PLAYER OPERATION

PLAYING A CASSETTE

Caution: We recommend using C-60 or C-90 cassette tapes. Avoid using C- 120 cassette tapes. They are very thin and can easily become tangled in the tape-handling parts.

Follow these steps to play a tape.

1.Take up any slack by turning the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil. Avoid touching the tape.

2.Insert the tape into the cassette compartment with its open edge to the right.

The tape begins to play, and the

direction indicator ( or ) appears.

3.If you are playing a metal tape, press MTL until MTL appears on the display.

4. If you are playing a tape encoded with the Dolby B NR system, press

. appears.

Press again when you finish play- ing a Dolby tape.

5.Adjust the volume, bass, treble, bal- ance, and fader settings as desired.

Notes:

When the tape reaches the end of one side, the cassette player automatically changes the tape’s direction and plays the other side of the tape.

During play, you can switch to the other side of the cassette by

pressing and at the same time until the indicator on the dis- play changes direction.

6. Press to stop and eject the tape.
