USING THE CASSETTE DECK

The system has two cassette decks.
You can use Deck 1 for normal play-
back, consecutive play, and dubbing
(recording). You can use Deck 2 for
normal playback and consecutive
play.
Both decks (1 and 2) have a full-re-
lease auto-stop system to protect
tapes and prevent pinch roller dam-
age. When a tape reaches the end
while playing, recording, fast-for-
warding, or rewinding, the tape
mechanism automatically stops.

remove excess slack, the tape
might become tangled in the
record/playback mechanism.
