To be more specific - I find the literal transliteration of the
iconography backwards. :-)  Seems to me that cassette-out would have
an arrow _from_ the cassette.  I know it's exactly correct when you
know exactly what the pictures are trying to say.  But if you say to
someone, "which one is cassette out?" that person (if it's me) has to
sit and stare at the icons for a bit to parse, remember, and
understand.
