AUTO REVERSE OPERATION

The auto reverse operation of this unit turns the tape transport
over to the reverse of forward direction automatically when the
tape reaches its end during recording or playback.

Because of cassette shell construction, a tape recorded in the
forward direction should be played back in the same direction
to obtain stable sound reproduction.

During recording, auto reverse can be activated only from the
forward to the reverse direction. For good sound quality and to
avoid accidental erasure of previously recorded material,
always start recording with the side A of the tape facing out.

pressing the PLAY button only when the POWER switch is set
to STANDBY.

.

Load cassette tapes in both decks and press the PLAY button of
the deck to be played first for continuous play of both decks.

At this time, the CONT indicator lights in the multimode display.
When the tape in the deck which plays first reaches the end of
side B (in the reverse direction), it automatically switches to the
forward direction and enters the standby mode. At the same
time, the other deck starts playback. These operations con-
tinue between decks A and B.

While one deck is playing back, the cassette in the other one
can be replaced. This is convenient for long-time playback of
background music.

Note:

Use tapes recorded using the same NR mode in decks A and
B.
