Using the Cassette Deck (Listening to a Tape)
The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record, and dub audio tapes.
❏ Listening to type I tape is suitable for this Cassette Deck.
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not rec-
ommended, since characteristic deterioration may
occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers
and the capstans.
One Touch Play
By pressing the TAPE 3 button, the System will come on, and if
a tape is in the deck, it will start to play. If no tape is loaded, “NO
TAPE” appears on the display, the System will come on and wait
for you to insert a tape, or select another function.
