USING THE CASSETTE DECK
You can use the system’s two cas-
sette decks for normal playback,
consecutive play, and recording.
Both decks have a full-release auto-
stop system to protect tapes and
prevent pinch roller damage. When a
tape reaches the end while playing or
recording, it automatically stops and
the tape-handling parts automatically
release.
To use a cassette deck, use the con-
trol buttons under the deck where the
tape is loaded.
