Using the Cassette Deck (Listening to a Tape)
The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record, and dub audio tapes.
❏
Listening to type I tape is suitable for this Cassette Deck.
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not rec-
ommended, since characteristic deterioration may
occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers
and the capstans.

a tape is in the deck, it will start to play. If no tape is loaded, “NO
