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.
