AUDIO
When you insert a cassette tape, the exposed tape
should be to the right.
The player will automatically start when you insert a
cassette tape. At this time, "TAPE" appears on the
display.
If a metal or chrome equivalent cassette tape is put in the
cassette player, the player will automatically adapt to it
and "METAL" appears on the display.
To stop or eject the cassette tape, push the "EJECT"
button.
Auto–reverse feature: After the cassette player
reaches the end of a tape, it automatically reverses and
begins to play the other side, regardless of whether the
cassette was playing or fast forwarding.
