When you play a tape on Plusdeck2 the sound flows as follows:
1. It is normal for the output sound quality from the speaker out jack to be the same as
tape out
sound from a playing tape.
2. When you connect tape out terminal to a speaker directly, it is sound quality of
Plusdeck2.

can
control the volume of the line-in and line-out terminal through the Control Panel.

or
down from the middle.
