I have heard for quite some time that auto reverse decks exhibit the behavior of improperly playing one side of the tape. The explaination that I was given was that the head physically moves to do the reverse operation, and it is difficult to align the heads for proper frequency response on both sides. I have heard that there are newer tape decks which do not exhibit this characteristic, but I have never listened to any of them. Kevin

Damn straight. My autoreverse deck in the car has taken to playing both sides of the tape simoultaneously from time to time. -RON
