PLAY mode (Menu point 1):
Introduction:
The PLAY mode determines how the two sides of the cassette (side A and side B) are to be used during the playback and recording processes. The CC 820 M provides PLAY SIDE, PLAY TAPE and PLAY LOOP modes.
•Activate the play mode PLAY SIDE if you want to record or play back one side of the cassette. When the machine reaches the end of the tape the unit switches to STOP mode.
•If you want to play or record both sides of a cas- sette in turn, activate the play mode PLAY TAPE. This has the following effect:
-If the recording or playback process starts on side A, then when the machine reaches the end of the tape in that direction, the drive reverses direction. When you reach the end of side B the unit switches to STOP mode.
-If the recording or playback process starts on side B, then the unit switches to STOP mode when it reaches the end of the tape in that direction.
•The PLAY LOOP mode switches on continuous (loop) playback. Regardless of the direction in which playback starts, the process continues until you press the / button.
If you make a recording in this mode the unit switches itself off when it reaches the end of the tape, as in the PLAY SIDE mode.
Operation:
To alter the play mode press the buttons of your remote control unit in the order shown in the diagram above, the screen shows the current play mode, e. g.
'PLAY LOOP'
The current play mode can be altered ( / buttons). Any changes take effect immediately.
