Teac A-2340 - Erasing; Making Splices

ERASING
The
erase
head
of
a
given
track
is
always
energized
during
the
record
mode,
in
order
to
assure
clean
recordings;
whatever
noise
or
sound
may
have
previously
existed
on
that
track
is
erased
immediately
before
the
new
program
material
is
*yecorded.
To
erase
a
tape
without
recording
new
material,
simply
turn
MIC
and
LINE
controls
to
the
minimum
position,
and
operaté
the
equipment
for
recording.
(Remember
that
erasing,
like
recording,
can
be
accomplished
in
the
forward
mode
only.)
In
the
event
that
the
entire
tape
is
to
be
erased,
a
bulk
eraser
is
the
most
efficient
means.
MAKING SPLICES
1.
Overlap
the
two
ends
of
the
tape
and
cut
them
approximately
at
a
60
degree
angle.
Align
both
ends
with
the
back
side
up.
2.
Cover
the
aligned
ends
with
splicing
tape,
and
press
firmly.
Note:
Never
use
conventional
adhesive
tape
for
splicing.
Scotch
Brand
Splicing
Tape
is
recommended.
3.
Trim
excess
splicing
tape,
cutting
slightly
into
the
recording
tape
-
this
Will
eliminate
the
possibility
of
adhesive
transfer
to
the
tape
heads
and
to
the
tape
itself.
Note:
It
is
advisable
to
demagnetize
scissors
with
a
bulk
eraser
when
splicing
recorded
tapes,
