You have a choice of three settings: Ä: One way mode

Side “A” facing you

This cassette deck can play back Normal (Type I), Chrome (Type II) and Metal (Type IV) tapes.

For the sake of simplicity, we refer to the tape side facing you as Side “A” and to the tape side facing away as Side “B”. When you insert a cassette with Sides “A” and “B” reversed, Side “A” should read Side “B” and Side “B” should read Side “A”.

3.Select a reverse mode setting using the REV MODE switch.
Pressing the ¥ key starts playback from side “A”.

Playback stops when reaching the end of side “A” if the reverse mode is set to Ä. If the reverse mode is set to Ë, playback continues on side “B”, stopping at the end of side “B”. If the reverse mode is set to ä, playback cycles through both tape sides 5 times.

Pressing the ˙ key starts playback from side “B”.

Playback stops when reaching the end of side “B” if the reverse mode is set to either Ä or Ë. If the reverse mode is set to ä, side “B” is played back, and then playback cycles through both tape sides 4 times.
