The following is the correct way to insert the DUO-Aria player into a
cassette deck.
1. Turn the DUO-Aria Player by moving the power switch on top of the unit
to the "On' position.
2. Due to potential variances in the volume of encoded audio files, the
cassette audio output of the DUO-Aria is adjustable. When the unit is
first turned on, the volume is set to a medium level of output. You may
adjust the output to a cassette deck by pressing Play (note that the
indicator lamp should be illuminated), then adjusting the volume either
up (+) or down (-) to suit the desired output to the cassette deck.
Note :
It is possible to adjust the output volume high enough to cause distortion during
cassette audio playback on some cassette decks. Avoid distorted output by
matching the volume of the DUO-Aria playback with the FM tuner volume.
3. Insert the DUO-Aria into the cassette deck, making sure the side
marked Front (the side with the operating buttons) is inserted upward
or forward.
4. You may adjust head control switch to ensure optimal tape head
alignment. Typical indications of improper tape head alignment is audio
playing only on one side, significantly reduced volume, or much
extraneous noise coming from player.
5. If no sound is played from the cassette deck or if adjusting tape head
control does not improve audio quality significantly, change the play
direction with the auto-reverse button (if applicable) and flip the DUO-
Aria cassette so it is facing down.

Pause/Power Save Mode
The DUO-Aria features a Power Save mode that allows the player to automatically
conserve its battery power when not in use. When the player presses the Stop
button for less than 5 seconds, and/or if the player senses it is not used for 10
minutes, it will automatically enter Power Save mode. To resume play if the power
switch is left in the "On" position, press the Play button twice.
Note : The DUO-Aria will resume play from the exact point in the audio track
that it was last stopped after stop button pressed. The volume setting is
also memorized, but the EQ setting is not memorized and will default to
the Normal EQ mode when first resuming play.
