RECORDING -
To change the direction of tape travel automatically from
FORWARD to REVERSE (See below), or from REVERSE
to FORWARD (See next page: For Playback only ), the
following operations must be carried out.
PREPARATION FOR AUTOMATIC REVERSE
Attach a 2.5cm — 4cm length of Sensing Tape (Accessory)
to the base (back surface) of the tape at a point where the
direction is to be reversed. (See Fig. 1.)
When the sensing tape comes in contact with the sensing
pole, the direction of tape travel will automatically change
from the Forward to Reverse.
In this case, during recording the Recording mode will
remain and will not be released.
* Do not attach Sensing Tapeto places other than where tape
travel is to be automatically reversed.
The above operation can only be effected when the Reverse
Selector is positioned, either to TWO-WAY( > }, or to
CONTINUOUS (<>).
i. When Recording Button (REC) is depressed together with
Forward Button ( » ), recording is possible only in
Forward direction.
When tape reaches the end, it will automatically stop.
* Even when Sensing Tape is attached to the tape, the
above operations will take place.

ward —~ Reverse) recording.
3’. When Recording Button (REC) is depressed together with
Reverse Button ( < ). recording is possible only in the
Reverse direction.
* In the case of recording, to prevent erasing by mistake,
the tape will automatically stop following compietion
of a two-way (Forward -— Reverse) recording even
when Sensing Tape is attached to both ends of the
tape and the Reverse Selector is positioned to
CONTINUOUS (“7 }.
PREPARATION FOR CONTINUOUS
PLAYBACK
For Continuous Playback, it is necessary to attach Sensing
Tape to two places—to the beginning and end of the
recorded tape.
Attach a 2.5cm — 4cm length of Sensing Tape (Accessory)
to the magnetic surface of the tape where tape travel is to
be changed from Reverse to Forward. (See Fig. 2.)
When the Sensing Tape makes contact with the Sensing
Pole (Tension Arm), the tape will automatically change the
direction and will travel Forward.
* Regarding preparation for automatic change from Forward to
Reverse, piease refer to Page 14.
* When in the RECORDING mode, the tape will continue
recording to the end of the tape, even after the Sensing Tape
comes in contact with the Tension Arm.
* Do not attach Sensing Tape to places other than where
continuous playback is desired.
The above operations can be effected only when the
Reverse Selector is set to CONTINUOUS (<>).
@ For preparations for AUTOMATIC REVERSE, refer to
Page 14.
