be erased automatically as a new recording is made. For
erasing only, thread the tape and set machine to recording
mode. No plugs should be connected to the input jacks and
recording level controls should be kept at minimum. ,Akai
Tape Eraser ATE-7 is recommended for quick and complete
erasure.
TAPE LOADING

empty reel on the Take-Up Reel Table. Thread the tape as

AUTOMATIC & MANUAL REVERSE
RECORDING/PLA YBACK
For automatic reverse recording or playback, affix about a
2.5 cm (l'j long piece of metallic sensing foil to the
outside of the tape at desired reversing point. If continuous
reverse between two points is desired, affix another piece of
sensing foil to the inside of the tape at desired reversing
point. In other words, affix a piece of sensing foil at each
end of the tape (outside of tape for normal to reverse
operation, and inside of tape for reverse to normal
operation). As the sensing foil passes the sensing poles,
reverse is effected.
* Your machine is also equipped with a Manual Reverse Key for
your convenience.
