There is no "classic" cassette compartment cover. When the cassette is removed, the fingers touch movable switching covers to the left and right of the cassette, thus triggering a cassette stop.
The drive functions (raising or lowering the mechanics) are performed by a magnet. Thus, the mechanics are not moved slowly, but moved "abruptly". This results in a very audible "stop noise".
Timer switch, which can be set to Play and Record/recording. As soon as the device receives power, e.g. through a socket switch, or even if the device is simply switched on, either playback or recording starts immediately. As a result, some cassettes have already been accidentally deleted (at least partially)
