Using the AMCS Function
The AMCS (Automatic Music Control System) automatically
locates the beginnings of the songs on a tape and plays about
the first ten seconds of each one. It is particularly useful for
rapidly checking the contents of a cassette. When the AMCS key
is pressed (record and record/pause modes excluded), the tape
advances rapidly to the beginning of the next song and, as the
play indicator flashes on and off, the first ten seconds of that
song is played back. Then the tape advances to the beginning of
the next song and, again, the first ten seconds is played. This
process repeats until the [> PLAY key is pressed or the end of
the tape is reached. If you want to hear an entire song, press the
PLAY key to cancel the AMCS function and return to normal
playback.
AMCS operates by detecting the blank sections between songs.
if the space between two songs is not long enough, AMCS will
wind tape to the next blank space of sufficient length. in order to
assure that the blank sections between songs on your cassettes
are of the correct length, use the Auto Space key to insert these
spaces when making recordings.
Note:
AMCS may not operate properly if there is a very quiet
passage followed by a very loud one in the first ten seconds
of one of the songs.
ae the Repeat Modes
Single repeat
Use this mode to repeat a specific song up to five times. First,
set the Repeat button on the left [9] to the (=m) ON position
and the one on the right to the (ML) SINGLE position. Then
press the [> PLAY key. The song being played will be
repeated up to five times. After the fifth time, tape playback
will continue to the end of the cassette. To play a song more
than five times, press the Repeat button on the left once to
cancel the repeat mode and then once again to turn it back
on.
Note:
If
the
gap
between
adjacent
songs
is
too
short
or
noisy,
the
single repeat mode may not function properly.
2. Full repeat
Use
this
mode
to
repeat
an
entire
cassette
side
up
to
five
times.
First,
set
the
Repeat

repeat mode and then once again to turn it back on.
@ The repeat function can be activated by pressing the left
Repeat button [9] either before or after the > PLAY key. It is
therefore possible to activate the repeat play mode as a tape
is being played.
Note:
The left-hand Repeat button has an ON and an OFF position.
Be sure the button is in the OFF (out) position when repeat
play is not required.
Using the Accubias Control Slider
Although this deck is equipped with an Accubias system for fine
bias adjustment, you will get excellent results with most tapes by
just leaving the Accubias Control slider in the center clickstop
position. Nevertheless, some tapes may require additional bias
adjustment in order to obtain flat frequency response. In such
cases, refer to the following diagram. For tapes not listed, refer to
the “Determining the Correct Accubias Setting for Tapes Not
Listed” section below.

Determining the Correct Accubias Setting for
Tapes Not Listed
Use the following procedure to determine the correct Accubias
setting for cassettes not listed in the above diagram. As it is
necessary to make use of the “white noise” produced by FM
tuners when tuned to the unused frequencies between stations, it
is not possible to perform this procedure with FM tuners that do
not produce white noise. In such cases, use the center clickstop
position when making recordings.
1. Set your FM tuner to an unused frequency between stations.
2. Turn the tuner’s FM muting switch off. (White noise should be
audible.)
8. Record white noise on a section of the cassette tape you
wish to use at about -10dB recording level. (The Accubias
Control slider should be set to the center position.)
4.
Compare
the
sound
of
the
tuner’s
white
noise
with
that
recorded
on
the
tape.
If
they
sound
the
same,
the
Accubias
setting
is
correct.
5.
Ifthey
do
not
sound
the
same
on
the
first
try,
the
Accubias
Control
slider
toward
the
(+)
or
the
(-)
indication
and
repeat
the
above
procedure.
When
you
have
found
the
position
the
most
closely
approximates
the
sound
of the
FM
tuner’s
white
noise,
record
the
setting
in
the
above
diagram
for
future
reference.
