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
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 commercially recorded tapes). Auto tape select means that the deck automatically detects the type of tape you're playing�normal (type I) or highposition/CrO2 (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. 2 Load 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 2 3 sensor (front panel). Each time you press TAPE or 2 3 during playback, the other side of the tape starts playing. Pressing TAPE or 2 3 when the tape is stopped starts playback on the side it was playing previously. The current tape direction is indicated in the display.
