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 120minutes (including
120 minute tapes) is not recommended, since char-
acteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes
easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.
