Using the Tape Deck 3
Playing tapes
The tape deck features auto-reverse,
Dolby B NR (noise reduction) and auto
tape select. The auto-reverse feature lets
you play or record both sides of the tape
without physically taking it out and
turning it over. Dolby B NR reduces tape
hiss on tapes recorded using Dolby NR
(which includes almost all commer-
cially recorded tapes). Auto tape select
means that the deck automatically
detects the type of tape you're play-
ing—normal (type I) or high-
position/C
r O
2
(type II)—so there's no
need to check the tape type and switch
manually.
1 Switch on.
You can use the STANDBY / ON button
on either the remote control or the
main unit to do this.
2Load a cassette tape then
press TAPE to start playback.
Playback will start from the side facing
you when you load it.
If you’re using the front panel controls,
touch the
2 3 sensor to start
playback.
The side of the tape you'll hear is
whichever is facing toward you when
you load it. This is the 'forward' (
3)
direction, while the other side is
'reverse' (
2). The forward indicator is
shown in the display.
3 To play the other side of the
tape, press TAPE (remote) or
touch the
23 sensor (front
panel).
Each time you press
TAPE or
23
during playback, the other side of the
tape starts playing. Pressing
TAPE or
23 when the tape is stopped starts
playback on the side it was playing
previously.
The current tape direction is indicated
in the display.

4 searches for the previous blank
space between tracks on the side
currently playing (in other words, to
the start of the current track), then
resumes playback.
By pressing
4 or ¢ more than
once, the tape deck will skip several
tracks at once (up to a maximum of
15). For example, press
¢ twice to
skip forward two tracks.
Note: Track search is unlikely to
work reliably in the following cases:
• if the space between tracks is less
than about 4 seconds
• if the recording is particularly noisy
so the spaces are not recognized
• if the recording contains frequent
silences, such as a language study
tape.
• if the recording contains sections of
very quiet material, such as some
classical music recordings
6 To stop the tape, press
7.
Touch the
0 sensor on the front panel
to eject the tape.
Tip
If there's already a tape in the deck,
then pressing the TAPE button—even
when the system is in standby mode—
will switch the system on and start the
tape playing.
