Tape Threading
•Carefully unwind (pull out) approximately 30 inches (75 cm) of
tape from the supply reel. Thread this tape in the following manner:
over the left tension arm, under the guide post, under and through
the head housing, between the pinch roller and capstan, under and
around the right shut-off arm, then onto the take-up reel.
•Secure the end of the tape to the take-up reel by holding the end
of the tape in the slot while rotating the reel several turns counter¬
clockwise (CCW).
•Continue rotating the take-up reel until the tape is no longer loose.
Correct tension will raise the shut-off arm from the 3 o'clock posi¬
tion ( ) to the 12 o'clock position ( f )•
© RECORD Indicator
This indicator lights when the deck is in
record or record pause mode. It flashes on
and off when any FUNCTION SELECT
switch is depressed and the deck is not in
record or record pause mode.
© Transport Control Panel
Six pushbutton micro switches to control
tape transport operation.
© Cue Lever
Move this cue lever up to retract the tape
lifters for high speed cueing during fast
forward or rewind operation, and for
manual cueing. Be sure to push this lever
down when cueing operation is not being
used.
© Pinch Roller
© Capstan
© Shut-off Arm
The shut-off arm will drop down to the
right if the tape breaks, runs out or becomes
very loose to shut off power to the capstan
motor. This arm also helps to smooth tape
travel.
