Threading the tape
Mount the full reel on the left-hand spindle [2]
and the empty reel on the right-hand spindle
[3]. To lock the reel, pull out the three-pronged
guide and rotate it by 60°.
Mount the NAB adapters on the spindles
[2/3]. To lock the adapter, pull out the three-
pronged guide and rotate it by 60°. Mount the
full NAB tape reel on the left-hand NAB adap-
ter and the empty NAB reel on the right-hand
NAB adapter. To secure the reels, turn the up-
per part of the adapter clockwise until it en-
gages.
Mount the adapter platters on the spindles
[2/3]. To lock the adapter, pull out the three-
pronged guide and rotate it by 60°. Mount the
tape pancake on the left-hand platter and an
empty hub on the right-hand platter. To secure
the hubs, lift the adapter clip and rotate it by
90° so that they rest on the two guide pins.
Thread the tape as shown in the opposite dia-
gram. It must be smoothly guided around the
tape tension sensor [6], the tacho roller [4],
and the right-hand guide pin. Thread the be-
ginning of the tape around the right-hand reel
and secure the tape by giving the reel a few
counterclockwise turns.
If the tape starts with a transparent leader,
spool the tape forward by pressing the >> key
[19] so that the oxide coating covers the light
barrier [5]. Then press the RESET [8] key to set
the tape counter [7] to zero. If the tape counter
is always set to zero at the same tape position,
the tape can be positioned at any address with
split-second accuracy by means of the real-
time counter [7].
A detailed description of the correct way to
thread the tape is given on page 43 of these
operating instructions.
