[For a cassette deck]

The source selected with the INPUT SELECTOR knob is
backed up for a few days even when the POWER switch is set
to off or the power cord is unplugged.
After this period, the CD is automatically selected when the
power is supplied.
[For an adaptor component]
By connecting a graphic equalizer, source sounds (from discs,
tapes, AM/FM broadcasts, etc.) can be heard with added
sound and tone compensation.
Sounds compensated with the adaptor component can be
recorded on the cassette deck connected to the TAPE 1/MD
terminals.
1. Set the TAPE 2 MONITOR button to ON.
2. Play back the source.

NOTE:
Be sure to perform this operation with the adaptor component

adaptor component is switched off, no sound will be produced,
or the playback sound will be distorted.
