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 selection.

Caring for Cassettes
Damaged cassettes can jam inside
the drive or cause other problems. See
