Calibration Procedure
Each cassette tape has different characteris-
tics depending on the manufacturer and
type. By properly adjusting bias and level
(sensitivity) according to the tape, it is
possible to record making the most of the
tape’s characteristics.
1, Load the cassette to be recorded,
2. Press the CAL START button,
(CALIBRATION, LEVEL, { light.)
3, Press the RECORD and » buttons to
start recording. The built-in test tone
will be recorded,
4, Adjust the LEVEL controls (of both the
L and R channels) so that the meter
deflection comes to the | mark.
OO
5, Press the CAL START button once
again,
(LEVEL goes out and BIAS comes on.)
6. Adjust the BIAS controls (of both L and
R channels) so that the meter deflec-
tion comes to the | mark.
the optimum bias and level (sen-
sitivity) have been set.
Press the STOP button to end the
calibration. Erase the recorded test
tone or rewind the tape and record
over it.
* Stick a seal, etc. on the front panel around
the LEVEL and BIAS controls to facili-
tate setting the next time you make a
recording with the same type of tape.
CPS (Computomatic Program
Search) Function
CPS allows the selection and playback
of any tune up to 15 tunes ahead or before
the one being played, This function operates
by detecting blank spaces of at least 4
seconds between tunes. These blanks can
z created using the REC MUTE facility.
. Press the I< or >i button repeated-
ly until the number of tunes to be
skipped appears in the multi-display
counter. Refer to the chart “How to
Select any Required Tune Using CPS”.
if you count past the required number,
keep on pressing the CPS button as 1
appears after 15 is indicated.
When the >! button is pressed, the
next tune is counted as “1” and when the
e¢ button ressed, the current tune
is counted as

and blank spaces between tunes are

at which point playback will start.
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and counting
blanks of about 4 seconds, normally the
intervals between tunes, Therefore, with
the following types of tapes, search func-
tions may not work correctly.
«When the intervals between tunes cannot
be detected.
— Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
— High levels of noise in intervals (due
to recording old scratched records,
poor FM or AM reception, etc.)
— Separate sounds are recorded on the
right and left channels as on a language-
learning tape, etc.
When parts of the program are likely to be
detected as intervals between tunes:
— Long low level sections (in classical
music, etc.)
— Momentary pauses in a speech at a
conference, etc.
— Continuing low level portions created
by fading out, etc.
ein the case of tapes containing fade-outs,
because the length of the blanks can differ
depending on how fading out was per-
formed, some tune intervals may be de-
tected and others may not.
This problem can be corrected using the
REC MUTE facility.
RTZ (Return To Zero) Function
To locate the position on tape correspond-
ing to the linear counter reading of OOMOOS,
press the RTZ button,
The fast forward or rewind of the tape
starts. The moment a counter reading of
Q0MOOS is found, the deck stops.
Note: This function does not work when
the deck is in the record, rec/pause or
rec/mute mode,
To start playback from OOMOOS
While the tape is running after the RTZ
button is pressed, press the ™ button.
The deck temporarily stops at the OOMOOS
counter reading, then playback starts.
*If the ™ button is pressed instead of the
» button, the deck enters the pause
mode at the OOMOOS counter reading.
To start playback, press the » or
button.
*When the deck is in the recording mode,
the RTZ button is disabled.
