Automatic-Stop
System
(FullAuto
Stop
System)
This unit has
a Full Automatic-Stop
system. When
the tape
comes to its
end during recording,
playback,
fast forward
or
rewind, the
tape-transport mechanism
automatically releases
and
places
the
unit
into
the
stop
mode.
Because the mechanism
automatically
stops when
the tape
comes to its
end, both the
operating
parts
and the tape itself
are
protected.
This unit is free
from
problems
such as Pinch Roller
deformation resulting
f rom
leaving
the unit in
the
stop condition
(without pushing
the
Stop Button) for
a
long
period
of time
Monitoring

to the recording
as it is
being
made,
simply
plug
a
set
of stereo headphones
(8f)-
1
25O) into the
Headphones
Jack.
You may
also listen
to the
program
as it is
being recorded
if
your
receiver
or amplif ier
is
equipped with
a Tape-Monitor
Switch
Note:
ln the
same way as for
playback,
an amplifier
can
also be
used
for monitoring.
Record muting
The record-muting
feature
is
convenient
to
prevent
recording
such unwanted
material
as commercial
messages
when
recording
FM radio
broadcasts,
or the
"click"
noise
heard
when the
stylus descends
to
the disc
surface
How to use
the Record
Muting
Button
lmmediately
after
one
program

Record-Muting
Button
depressed for
about
5 seconds. After
these
5 seconds have
elapsed,
depress the Pause
Button in
order to
save tape
space
until desired
recording
material
is
available again.
Remote
control
The unit incorporatesan
lC-based
electronic
control operation
system and so it can
be operated remotely
using
the
remote
control unit
(RP-9645)
or the wireless remote

Noise
Reduction
System."
2. The
Dolby noise
reduction
system works
by recoridng
sound
at a
low
level
with
an increased
higher
frequency
level
and
by
playing
back
the sound
at
a
lower
level
equivalent
to the increase
in
the level
during recording.
ln
other words,
the tape
hiss is
reduced
by an
amount
equivalent
to the reduction
in
the level
during
playback
When
recording
or
playing
back
tapes with
the
Dolby
system,
set the
Noise
Reduction
Selector
switch
to
the
"Dolby
NR"
position.
When
recording
or
playing
back
tapes
without
the system,
set
the
switch to the
"out"
position.
Fluorescent
Meter
The
unit's Fluorescent
Meter
Scales
emproys
fluorescent
dis-
play
tubes
to
indicate
the input
and
output
signal levels
in the
form
of a bar
graph
During
playback
the
playback
level
is indicated,
and
during
recording
the
recording
level
is indicated
This unit's
Scales
are designed
for
"peak"
indication
With
peak
indication,
the
Scales respond
sensitively
to rapid
bursts
of sound such
as that from
percussion
instruments
and
so
it is
possible
to record
up to near
the tape's
saturation level
with
very little
distortion
and a
good
signal-to-noise
ratio
Furthermore,
the
unit
is
provided
with
an auto reset
peak
hold
function.
ln
order to facilitate
recording
level
readout,
the
peak
level--apart
from
the illumination
of
the
Scales--can
be
held
on the meter for
about
2 seconds
During
this time
the
peak
level
can
easily be read
out
Based
on a reference
of
"0
dB", the
unit's
Scales have
markings in
two colors for
easy instantaneous
readout.
lf the unit is brought into
a warm room
af ter
it
has been in
a very cold location
(freezing
temperature),
it may not
operate
properly
when first connected
This is
due to
condensation
on
internal
parts
of the unit This
ef fect will
disappear, if it is allowed to
stand at room temperature
for
30
minutes
or so before being used
