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.
One Touch Play

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.
