MUSIC SEARCH SYSTEM
This device is a convenient system which detects the
non-recorded part of more than 4 seconds between melodies,
cues the next melody while the present melody is being
reproduced or automatically detects the beginning of the
melody now being reproduced and makes it into the repro-
duceable state.
1. For cueing the next melody while the present melody
is being reproduced :
At PLAY mode, depress the PLAY button and the FF
button simultaneously. This device will detect the
interval between melodies with the CUE state on, auto-
matically become the PLAY mode and begin performing
the next melody.
2. For hearing again the melody being reproduced:
At PLAY mode, depress the PLAY button and the REW
button simultaneously. This device will detect the
interval between melodies with the REVIEW state on,
automatically become the PLAY mode, detect the be-
ginning of the melody now being performed and play
it from the first again.
PROPER RECORDING LEVEL
Note about MUSIC SEARCH action:
MUSIC SEARCH is a function which operates by detecting
a comparatively long non-recorded part on the tape. There-
fore, MUSIC SEARCH may not operate normally in the
following cases.
e Sound on the tape is interrupted by speech or conversa-
tion.
eLong periods of pianissimo (softly played music) or
non-recorded intervals occur on the tape.
e The tape has picked up noise in a non-recorded interval.
e Non-recorded intervals on the tape are Jess than 4 seconds
in length.
eNoise-emitting electrical appliances are in operation
nearby. i.e.; Electric razors, drills, refrigerators, etc.
A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause
distortion. On the other hand, it the recording level is set
too low, soft passages will be marked by residual noise.
A proper recording level is the single most important factor
for making well balanced recordings.
Guideline for maximum recording level
TYPE I (Normal) +1 dB level on peaks
TYPE IT (CrO:)
+3 dB level on peaks
+5 dB level on peaks
TYPE W (Metal)
Note : The optimum recording level differs depending on the
program source and the type of tape used.
RECORDING BIAS ADJUSTMENT
Meter reading differences between Left and Right
channels
The left and right channel readings of the Peak Level Meter
can differ due to variations in the input signal levels. In such
cases, use the BALANCE control to adjust the channel input
balance until identical meter readings are obtained for both
channels.
For best recording results, monitoring during recording and
comparing different recordings using your own judgement
are essential.
The DRS-810 is equipped with a BIAS FINE control to assist
you in setting the proper bias for different types and brands
of tape. At the center stop-click position, the deck is set
to the reference bias level for Normal, CrO, and Meta! tape.
If the resulting recording in this position has too much or
too little high frequency content, adjusting the BIAS FINE
control can be useful to achieve better resuits.
BIAS” FINE
lf the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to the boosted,
turn the BIAS FINE control counter-clockwise to decrease
the bias current. Turn the contro! clockwise to increase bias
current.
By the use of this control, you can record tapes with a
frequency response that will perfectly match your listening
taste.

REC/REC MUTE AND PAUSE BUTTON
1. To record a 5-second blank section during recording:
Press the REC/REC MUTE (@) button. A 5-second blank
will be recorded and the deck will enter the recording
Standby mode.
2. To record a 5-second blank section during the recording
Standby mode:
Press the REC/REC MUTE (@) button from the recording
standby mode. A 5 second blank will be recorded and
the deck will enter the recording standby mode again.
3. To cancel recording of blank space:
Press the PAUSE (11) button. Blank space recor ding
will be cancelled. and the deck enters the recor ding
standby mode.
4. To extend the blank section with another 5 seconds or
more:
Simply press the REC/REC MUTE (@) button and the
blank section will be increased with another 5 seconds.
