LED
This LED will blink for the first
10-15
seconds after the
power is switched on. Transport will not operate until this
LED goes out. Lights up in PAUSE.
@
Tape Path
Thread the tape
as
indicated on the diagram. Over the
tape tension arm
@
(on ree1 side) under the impedance
roller
@
(away from reel) across heads, between capstan
@
and pinch roller
@l
and behind shut off arm
@
(away from ree1 side).
The shut off arm will drop power to the transport if the
tape breaks.
It's
a good idea to allow it to drop when you
take a break in the middle of a session. Doing this will
stop the constant rotation of the capstan, and will
lengthen the life of the capstan
motor bearings.
It
is not
necessary to unthread the tape. Just allow
it
to become
slack so that shut off arm
can drop.
