        Avoid using C-120 cassette tapes.  They are very thin and easily
        become tangled in the tape-handling parts.

You can set an alarm so the buzzer sounds or the radio or cassette player
begins playing at a specified time.

Follow these steps to set the alarm.

TAPE/RADIO to TAPE.  Then load a cassette tape and press PLAY.

At the alarm time, the alarm buzzer sounds or the radio cassette player
plays for 1 hour and 59 minutes (or until the cassette tape ends).  To
silence the buzzer or radio, or turn off the cassette player sooner, press
ALARM SET, then (if you play a tape) press STOP.

NOTE:  When a cassette tape reaches the end, the tape automatically stops 
       and the PLAY button automatically releases.

To turn off the alarm so it does not sound the buzzer or turn on the radio
or cassette player at the alarm time, set ON/OFF/AUTO/ALARM to OFF.

To view the current setting for the alarm time, press ALARM SET.

USING THE SNOOZE TIMER

To silence the alarm (buzzer, radio, or cassette player) and set it to 
sound again after about 9 minutes, press SNOOZE.

You can use this feature repeatedly for up to about 1 hour and 59 minutes.
After that, the alarm does not sound again until the next day at the
specified alarm time.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

You can set the radio or cassette player to play for up to 1 hour and 59
minutes (or until the cassette tape ends), then automatically turn off.

To set the radio to play, set TAPE/RADIO to RADIO.  To set a cassette tape
to play, set TAPE/RADIO to TAPE, load a cassette tape, and press PLAY.

To set the sleep timer, set ON/OFF/AUTO/ALARM to OFF, AUTO, or ALARM.  Then

cassette player sooner, press STOP.

NOTES:  If the tape reaches the end before the specified play time is up,
        the tape automatically stops and the PLAY button automatically
        releases.

        If the specified play time is up before the tape reaches the end,
        the tape stops but the PLAY button does not release.  As soon as
        possible, press STOP to release the PLAY button.  This helps
        protect the tape-handling parts.

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE

To listen privately, plug an earphone (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) plug (such as Cat. No. 33-175) into the earphone jack.  This 
automatically disconnects sound (including the alarm) from the built-in
speaker.
