Setting the Reverse Mode
The tape deck can play both sides of a tape without you having to take the cassette out
and turning it over by hand. This feature is called auto-reverse (because to play the
other side of the tape, the tape travels in the opposite direction).
You can switch sides any time while playing a tape by pressing the TAPE button (see
page 20 for how to use all the basic playback controls). The reverse mode, however,
tells the deck what to do when it reaches the end of the tape on the side it's playing.
There are three modes:
• ENDLESS – Play the tape round and round continuously:
”
• ONE - WAY – Play one side, then stop:
O
• REVERSE – Play both sides then stop:

Note: In endless mode, the deck only plays the tape through 16 times before it stops
automatically. If you start playback in the reverse direction in reverse mode, the tape will
stop after it reaches the end of that side (i.e, it won’t play in the forward direction.)

Making Tape Recordings
You can make tape recordings from any other component in the system, and also from
an external component connected to the AUX/CD-R inputs. If you're recording from
CD or the optional MD recorder, it's usually most convenient to use the synchro-
recording mode. This makes the process largely automatic with the system starting
and stopping the recording for you. Detailed instructions for this are below. If you're
recording from the tuner or from a component connected to the AUX/CD-R inputs, use
the manual recording mode explained on page 36.
Once recording has started, you can't switch to another component until either the
recording has stopped, or you pause the recording. So, for example, you can't switch
over to the tuner while you're recording a CD.
