REPEAT — The Repeat function continuously replays the current
song or passage. Press the RPT
button to activate it; you will see RPT displayed as a reminder. When the
system reaches the end of the song
or passage currently playing, it will
automatically go into rewind. When
it senses the beginning of the same song or passage, the system returns
to PLAY mode. It will continue to
repeat this same program until you deactivate REPEAT by pressing the
button again. The SKIP and REPEAT functions
use silent periods on the tape to find
the end of a song or passage. These
features may not work to your satisfaction if there is almost no gap
between selections, a high noise
level between selections, or a silent
period in the middle of a selection. Caring for the Cassette Player
The cassette player picks up dirt and oxides from the tape. This contami-
nation builds up over time and causes the sound quality to degrade.
To prevent this, you should clean the player after every 30 hours of use.
Your dealer has a cleaning kit
available.

If you do not clean the cassette
player regularly, it may eventually
become impossible to remove the contamination with a normal
cleaning kit.
Use 100-minute or shorter cassettes.Cassettes longer than that use
thinner tape that may break or jam
the drive.
