allows continuous play between two
different cassette tapes. It also allows
copying between tapes at “real time” or
high speed.

transport, press the Pri/Sec Transport
Selector button to select the Primary
Transport as current.

Transport selector button to enable
independent settings.

Using Sync Reverse
When making “real time” or high speed

In Sync Reverse, when the leader at the
end of the recorded tape is detected, the
Secondary Transport goes into Play Pause,
while the Primary Transport goes into
Record Mute mode. At the point the blank
tape reaches its leader, the direction of
both Transports is reversed and recording
continues.
