AUT REVERSE
@ TAPE SPEED selector
For high quality recording, ‘‘71/2ips’’ (19cm/s) is recom-
mended. Recording at “33/4ips” (9.5 cm/s) extends recording
time. In playback mode, set the tape speed which corresponds
to the speed of the prerecorded tape.
@ Tension arms (both supply and take-up sides)
These arms maintain uniform tape tension. When all the tape
are wound and the tension arms are released to horizontal posi-
tion, tape transport mechanism will stop.
© Head section
Always keep this section clean for optimum performance. Re-
fer to page 13.
@ Function buttons
<q rewind, <q forward to the left, MJ stop, » forward to the
right, P»P fast forward tape motion.
These buttons can be depressed at random to change tape
motion from normal to fast wind, and vice versa (Logic-control-
led transport function). :
@ PAUSE lever
To pause momentarily in playback or recording (to eliminate
undesired portions), depress down the PAUSE lever. The lamp
will light. Tape will stop (tape-and-head contact remains). To
restart, move it upward. This lever is also used for proper
timing of the recording. For instantaneous recording, depress
the PAUSE lever first and then set the recorder in record mode.
At the moment when you wish to record, move the PAUSE
lever upward. Recording will begin immediately.
