PROBLEMS
If
recorders A
and
B have each been
used satisfactorily
by
themselves, and tapes
exchanged
between
them produce
errors, the two recorders
probably have
quite
different
tape speeds. The same error
could occur
on one
recorder operated at
one
time
from batteries
and another
time from an
AC-supply.
To
isolate
the problem, try cross-verification, as follows.
1. SAVE
and verify
a file to recorder A as in
paragraph 4-6, steps
1-13.
