RECORD indicator
This red indicator lights when the
RECORD
and
PLAY
keys are pressed, and
at least one of the
REC FUNCTION
switches is not in the
SAFE
position.
Pressing
RECORD
and
PLAY
while both
REC FUNCTION
switches are set to
SAFE
has the same effect as pressing
PLAY
.
[17]
Transport controls
These work in the same way as the con-
trols on most cassette recorders. How-
ever, there are a few points you should
note:
•
Pressing the
RECORD
key will also
press down the
PLAY
key.
•
If the left record-protect tab of the cas-
sette has been broken out, or if there is
no cassette loaded, the
RECORD
key
cannot be pressed.
•
It is not possible to go directly from
recording into playback mode.
•
The
PAUSE
key only pauses playback
and recording. It is not possible to
pause the tape in fast forward and
rewind modes.
•
All keys lock down when pressed,
except for the
STOP
key, and only
work when locked down.

Cassette compartment
cover
The hinged cassette compartment cover
is opened by lifting the tab on the right
side.
There is no eject mechanism. You load
and unload cassettes by hand, using a fin-
ger or fingers in the space to the right of
the cassette.
