Each time you confirm "Booktape", the

booktape tracks and the standard stereo
sound track.
The selected booktape track is indicated as
"Booktape 1" or "Booktape 2".
When you change tape sides with the
"Side" command the deck reverts to
playing the standard stereo tape.
Noise suppression
Dolby B or C are systems designed to sup-
press noise and hiss during playback of
audio cassettes.
It amplifies high frequencies during
recording, and reduces their intensity
during playback. Because background
noise consists primarily of high frequencies
generated during play, this strategy results
in lower levels of background noise.
