4.2.5 Reel motor
The AG-DV2500 has adoped an independent one-reel motor, besides a capstan motor. As a result, quicker response when switching
from Play to Reverse Search or Forward Search modes has been attained, greatly improving operability and the durability.
And as shown in table 4.2.3 the speeds of capstan search and FF/REW are also accelerated.

* Condition of SUP reel lock release switch operation :
After cassette intake, tape is pulled out of the take-up side for loading, but when a virgin tape is inserted it switches over to
pull out from the supply side since it is not possible to pull out from the take-up side.
Immediately following tape intake completion, when the Begin sensor detects tape leader the cassette housing motor
moves further to the loading side and, after the switches lever release the SUP brake, S2 is turned ON and brake release is
detected.

The AG-DV2500 uses double tension control to regulate the tension differential caused by winding and modes used, obtaining a
uniform tape tension for stable tape transport.
