cassette compartment.

NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM (DOLBY NR)
Always play cassette tapes in accordance with the way they were recorded; i.e.
with or without DOLBY B NR, depending on the recording. Only in this way is
optimum playback quality guaranteed.
The advantage of a recording made with DOLBY NR compared to one made
without DOLBY NR is the reduced tape noise (see 'Technical Data').
