However, the position of these controls does not affect
the cassette recording.

The VOLUME control ® enables adjustment of the
sound volume.
•
The GRAPHIC EQUALIZER ® consists of several
tone controls, each controlling its own pitch range. The
three equalizer controls are centered on 100 Hz (bass),
