The DOLBY PRO LOGIC feature and the center and surround
speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When

to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in

sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are
reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike
audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to

listening space.

achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness
from each channel.

About cassette tapes
• To prevent accidental erasure, break off the plastic tabs
on the cassette tape after recording with a screwdriver or
other pointed tool.
To record on the tape again, cover the tab openings with
adhesive tape, etc. (On Type
II
tapes, take care not to cover
the Type
II
tape detection slot.)
• 120-minute or longer tapes are extremely thin and easily
deformed or damaged. They are not recommended.
• Take up any slack in the tape with a pencil or similar tool
before use. Slack tape may break or jam in the mechanism.
DOLBY NR system
The Dolby Noise Reduction system reduces tape hiss noise.
For optimum performance when playing back a tape
