© The Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second blank at the beginning of each selection.
So it won’t work well if your tape has:
¢ No blank at the beginning of a track.
* Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.
* Long very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these instead of the
4-second long blanks. If this happens, just go ahead and scan again until you reach the
selection you want.
Other Useful Features Using the Tape Deck
Q) Use Reverse Mode to make the tape automatically reverse at the end of a side and start playing
the other side. Press REVERSE MODE to change from Reverse Mode on (the indicator is lit)
to Reverse Mode off, or from off, to on.
&) Continuous Play: When a tape finishes playing, the Unit always checks to see if a tape is in the
other deck. If one is there, it automatically starts playing it while rewinding the first tape. This
Continuous Play happens regardless of which deck starts first.
* With the Reverse Mode on, the other tape will start playing when both sides of the first tape
have been played. As long as the REVERSE MODE indicator is lit, the tapes will continue
to play in the above sequence.
e With the Reverse Mode off, the tape will play to the end of the current side, switch to the other
deck and start playing a tape there while rewinding the first tape. Then when one side of the
tape in the other deck is over, the first deck starts playing the same side again. The tapes will
continue to play in the above sequence.
Q) Press DOLBY B NR to switch Dolby Noise Reduction on (the indicator lights up) or off (the
indicator goes off). If a tape is recorded with Dolby B NR, playing it back with the Dolby NR
on will reduce tape noise and improve the clarity of the sound.
By playing the sound from a VCR or optional equipment through the CA-S200, you can often
dramatically improve the quality, and gain control over how the music or program sounds.
Once the connected equipment is playing through the CA-S200, you can apply the sound
effects, make recordings, or listen with the headphones.
Q) First make sure that the connection between optional equipment and the CA-S200 has been
done correctly (See page 6).
