Auto
tape
selector
How the tape positions are detected
Cassette
tapes
can
be
separated
widely
into
three
types:
Normal
position,
chrome
(CrOz)
position
and
metal
position.
Because
tape
performances
differ
according
to
tape
posi-
tion,
to
fully
utilize
the
performance
of
each
tape
the
cas-
sette
deck’s
recording/playback
characteristics
such
as
bias
and
equalization
must
be
set
to
suit
each
tape
position.
This
cassette
deck
is
equipped
with
an
auto
tape
selector
which
functions
automatically
after
you
have
loaded
a
cas-
sette
tape.
Once
loaded,
the
metal,
CrOz
or
normal
tape
po-
sition
is
indicated
on
the
FL
display.
How the Auto Tape Selector operates
When
a
cassette
tape
is
loaded,
the
cassette
deck
detects
the
‘tape
position
by
sensing
the
tape
position
notches
lo-
cated
on
top
of
the
cassette
case,
as
illustrated.
Note
@ Do not use a cassette tape which does not have notches
for
triggering
the
tape
position,
as
this
will
result
in
re-
cordings of poor quality.
@ We do not recommend the use of ferri-chrome cassette
tapes for recording.

Peak level meter
The peak level meter shows the peak (maximum) level of re-
cording and playback signals. By monitoring the peak level,
it is possible to set the recording controls of this deck to
realistically reproduce the dynamic characteristics of the
original source.
The standard recording level of this meter is indicated at
OcB at a level of 250 nWb/m. The peak level meter con-
forms to IEC standards.
