For automatic reverse playback, affix about a 2 cm (1/2”)
long: piece of metallic sensing tape to the outside of the
recorded tape at desired reversing point. If continuous
reverse between two points is desired, affix another piece of
sensing tape to the inside of the recorded tape at desired
reversing point. Normally, it is recommended that the
sensing tape be affixed at both ends (outside the recorded
tape for normal to reverse playback, and inside the
recorded tape for reverse to normal playback) of the
recorded tape. As the sensing tape passes the Sensing Poles,
reverse is effected, This Akai reversing system differs from
ordinary reversing systems in that when reverse is being
effected, the motor revolutions are reversed and the Pinch
Wheel automatically separates from the Capstan , suspend-
ing reel movement momentarily until the exact tape speed
to which the recorder is set is reached. At this time, the
pinch wheel again automatically contacts the capstan and
the tape begins to travel. Thus, tape speed is always
accurately maintained and annoying noise as the tape
reverses is completely eliminated.
The GX-280(D) is also cquipped with a manual Reverse
Button for your convenience. Reverse playback can he
effected at any point by simply depressing this button.
DIN JACK
Fig. 10
The DIN Jack at the rear of the recorder is used for
inter-connecling the GX-280(D) with an external stereo
amplifier. This system enables easy recording or playback
through an external amplifier as the complex conriection or
disconnection of four separate plugs is not necessary. When
recording from an external amplifier, if the output level of
the amplifier is more than 50 mV, set the High/Low Input
Switch to HIGH. If the output level is less than 50 mV, set
to LOW.
Note: When using Din Cord connection, VU level is
controlled with the Microphone Recording Level Controls.
