Using the tape deck
5 Press TAPE to start playback.
You can also press 23 (remote) or PLAY/
PAUSE (front panel) to start playback when
TAPE is selected.
The side of the tape you'll hear is whichever
is face up when you load it. This is the
'forward' (3) direction, while the other side
is 'reverse' (2). The direction indicator is
shown in the display.
6 To play the other side of the tape,
press TAPE or 23 (remote only).
Each time you press TAPE (23) during
playback, the other side of the tape starts
playing. Pressing TAPE (23) when the tape
is stopped starts playback on the side it was
playing previously.
The current tape direction is indicated in the
display.
7 To skip back or forward a track on the
tape, press 4 or ¢.
On the front panel, press 4 /1 or ¡/
¢ (the tape should be playing when you do
this).
¢ searches for the next blank space
between tracks on the side currently playing
(in other words, to the start of the next track),
then resumes playback.
4 searches for the previous blank space
between tracks on the side currently playing
(in other words, to the start of the current
track), then resumes playback.
By pressing 4 or ¢ more than once, the
tape will skip several tracks at once (up to a
maximum of 15). For example, press ¢
twice to skip forward two tracks.
Track search is unlikely to work reliably in
the following cases:
• If the space between tracks is less than
about 4 seconds.
• If the recording is particularly noisy so
the spaces are not recognized.
• If the recording contains frequent
silences, such as a language study tape.
• If the recording contains sections of very
quiet material, such as some classical
music recordings.
To pause playback, press 8 (remote
8
only).
Press TAPE (23) to resume playback.
To stop playback, press 7 (remote) or
9
STOP (front panel).
10 To fast wind the tape, press 1 or
¡.
On the front panel, press 4 /1 or ¡/
¢ (the tape should be stopped when you
do this).
1 rewinds the tape, regardless of the tape
direction at the time. ¡ always forward-
winds the tape.
