i have recently bought 2 compact double decks Both play cassettes but I don't know hot to operate them correctly. I have to push different bottoms to see which one is play, rewind.... and some buttons still don't know the purpose of them This decks are made for Japan domestic market and everything including the manual is in Japanese. Hopefully someday I will find somebody with understanding of Japanese language to help me about the writings. Overall, this decks look beautiful, sound good and I like the design. One of them is use in excellent condition and the other is mint with all accessories/ box.
