CD
The tape deck lets you play or record
both sides of the tape without physically
taking it out and turning it over (auto-
reverse). If you're planning on
recording right away, note that the tape
deck can only record on Type I
(normal) tapes. See Making tape
recordings on page 26 for more on
this.
On the top panel, press down the corner
of the cassette deck marked
(0) to open the cover and
insert a tape. Press down again to close.

The side of the tape you'll hear is
whichever is facing toward you when
you load it. This is the 'forward' (3)
direction, while the other side is
'reverse' (2). The forward indicator is
shown in the display.
If there's already a tape in the deck,
then pressing the button—even
when the system is in standby mode—
will switch the system on and start the
tape playing.

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
