For playback of recorded tapes connect the Line outputs to 

the  tape  inputs  of  your  stereo  amplifier  and  connect  a  pair 
of speakers to the amplifier. Connect power cord and load a 

pre-recorded tape.

STEREO PLAYBACK

(A)  Turn on Power Switch.

(B)  Set Track Selector to STEREO position.
(C)  Set  Tape  Speed  Selector  and  Equalizer  .to  desired 

speed.

(D)  Set Playback/Record Lever to PLAY position to begin 

playback.

(E)  Adjust external amplifier controls.

MONAURAL PLAYBACK

Only  the  left  channel  amplifier  is  used  for  monaural 

playback. Connect the left line output to the left tape input 

of  the  external  amplifier.  Substitute  the  following  for  step 

B of stereo playback procedure and add step F.

Tracks 1 and 4
(B) Set Track Selector to 1-4 TRACK position.
(F)  Depress  Manual  Reverse  Buttonr^ülor  invert  reels  for 

playback of track 4.

Tracks 3 and 2
(B) Set Track Selector to 3-2 TRACK position.
(F)  Depress  Manual  Reverse  Buttonf-^lor  invert  reels  for 

playback of track 2.

♦ The output level of this model is 1.23 V. Check your amplifier 

for proper connection.

AUTOMATIC REVERSE PLAYBACK

One  of  the  main  features  of  this  model  is  the  automatic 

reverse playback mechanism which eliminates troublesome 

inverting of reels by hand. Simple application of a piece of 

sensing foil to the tape at the desired reversing points is all 

that  is  necessary  for  continuous  playback  in  both  direc­

tions.

(A)  Affix about a 2 cm (3/4") long piece of sensing foil to 

the outside of the tape at desired reversing point.

(B)  If  continuous  reverse  between  two  points  is  desired, 

affix  another  piece  of  sensing  tape  to  the  inside  of  the 

tape at desired reversing point.

As the foil passes the sensing poles, reverse is effected.

MANUAL REVERSE PLAYBACK

This  model  is  also  equipped  with  Manual  Reverse  Buttons 

for  your  convenience.  To  effect  manual  reverse,  depress 

Manual Reverse l-^Él or Normal Play 1^-1 Button.
