Note:
When
metal
reels
with
an
insulated
(e.g.
plastic)
centre
are
used,
static
build-up
may
occur
if
the
equipment
is
used
in
dry
atmospheric
con-
ditions.
To
reduce
the
effect
of
this
problem
we
recommend
the
use
of
conductive
plates
which
can
be
clamped
between
the
locking
clips
@
and
the
metal
reels.
These
plates
are
available
individually
under

This
automatic

operates
during

If

are
used,
any
depressed
keys
are
disengaged
after
a
few
sec-
onds
by
the
integral

protection
mechanism.
Four-track
system
This
four-track
recorder
allows
four

be
made
over
the

The

lie
above
each
other.
Each
tape
can
thus
take
four
mono
recordings
or
two
stereo
recordings
(a

consists
of
two
mono
recordings).
