Erasing
Anything previously recorded on the
tape will automatically be erased when
you make a new recording on it. It can
also be erased by “recording” on it with
the RECORD level control set to “0”.
Blank Scan Facility
This facility is provided so that the deck
will skip long blank portions during play-
back of TAPE I.
1. During playback, press the BLANK
SCAN button (the indicator lights).
2. If a blank section of more than about
10 seconds is detected during playback,
the deck will enter the fast-forward
mode automatically until the beginning
of the next recorded section is detect-
ed, at which point playback will resume.

Notes:
eWith the REVERSE MODE switch set
to the => or Cz) position, when the
BLANK SCAN button is engaged, the
tape will be fast-forwarded at the end
of either side of the tape after running
the tape for 10 seconds without any
sound. (See the figure (2) above.)
eTo check if the tape is entirely blank,
start blank scan at the beginning of
either side with the REVERSE MODE
switch set to the C= position.
elf there are sections of tape recorded
at a low signal level, because of fading out,
etc., these sections may be detected as
blank and blank scan may start, in which
case the music will be interrupted for
about 10 seconds.
Dubbing (Copying from TAPE |
to TAPE II)
To dub the entire recorded section
ofa pre-recorded cassette
wn
NOD
. Set the TIMER switch to OUT.
. Press the POWER switch to ON.
. Load the pre-recorded cassette into
TAPE | and the recordable cassette
into TAPE Il.
4, Fully rewind both cassettes onto their
left reels,
5. Set the REVERSE MODE switch to the
desired position.
== : Dubbing will be performed for
one side only.
=>: Dubbing will be stopped at the
end of reverse side.
. Set both decks to the » direction.
Press the DUB START HIGH or
NORMAL button to start dubbing.
The indicator corresponding to the
button pressed will light.
NORMAL: Dubbing is performed at
normal speed.
HIGH: Dubbing is performed at
twice normal speed.
8. The PEAK LEVEL METER indicates
the TAPE | signal levels; the recording
level of TAPE II will be set automati-
cally (at the same level as TAPE 1).
9. After dubbing is completed, both
decks stop automatically, according
to the setting of the REVERSE MODE
button.
SS
10.To stop dubbing, press either of the
STOP buttons.
Notes:
e The setting of the RECORD level control
and DOLBY NR switch will be ignored
during dubbing as they have no effect.
eThe << , < , » and >» buttons
do not function during NORMAL speed
or HIGH speed dubbing. Also, REC
MUTE and PAUSE do not function
during HIGH speed dubbing.
eThe sound quality of the dubbed tape
may be slightly worse than that of the
origian! tape. For this reason, multi-
generation dubbing is not recommended.
elf there is a TV set near the W-550R
during high speed dubbing, it is possible
that the TV's horizontal scanning fre-
quency (15.75 kHz) may be recorded
on the tape. If this occurs or to prevent
it in advance, dub at normal speed, switch
off the television or keep the deck a
reasonable distance away from the TV.
Synchro Reverse Dubbing
The SYNC REV button allows both decks
to be reversed at exactly the same time
during dubbing. This function is convenient
when using the tapes with different lengths
or making a dubbed tape which is com-
pletely the same as the original.
1. Set the tape running direction of both
decks to the ™ (forward) direction,
and set the REVERSE MODE switch
to the = position.
