seconds for the cassette compartment to open automatically.
• The confirmation beep sounds when the cassette cover fully opens.
3. Load or unload the cassette.
• Insert the cassette gently with the window facing outward and the
REC/SAVE tab to the bottom.
• Remove the cassette by pulling it straight out.
4. Press the P mark on the compartment until it clicks, and wait
for it to close.

automatically, and do not attempt to close the cover until the cassette
compartment has fully retracted.

want to start recording.
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette compartment cover.
