REVERSE MODE SWITCH (REV
MODE)
There are three settings:
One way mode
O
position
When the switch is set to this position, playback
or recording is performed on one side of the
tape only. When the tape reaches the end of the
side, it stops automatically (auto stop function).
Two way mode
[
position
When the switch is set to this position, playback
or recording can be performed on both sides of
the tape. When the tape reaches the end of the
first (forward) side, its direction is automatically
reversed, and playback or recording continues on
the other (reverse) side. When it reaches the end
of the reverse side, the tape stops automatically
(auto stop function). If playback or recording is
started from the reverse side, the tape will stop
when it reaches the end of that side.
Repeat mode
position
When the switch is set to this position for
playback, both sides of the tape are played back
repeatedly until the
stop
(
7
) button is pressed, or
until the tape has been replayed 15 times (32
sides playback). If the pause button is pressed to
pause the tape, and then playback is restarted, the
repeat mode starts over from the beginning, and
will play the tape 15 times (32 sides playback).
When the switch is set to this position for
recording, both sides are recorded and then the
tape stops, as described above for the two way
mode.
RELAY PLAY/BLANK SKIP
If Deck I and II are loaded with tapes, each tape
will be played using relay palyback.
OPERATION OF DECK I WITH A
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT NOT
DESIGNED FOR DOUBLE DECKS
(SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL)
Selecting DECK I
In order to operate DECK I with the remote
control unit, adjust the unit as follows: With the
power off, press and hold the
stop
(
7
) button of
DECK I, and turn the power on. Continue to
hold the
stop
(
7
) button for approximately five
seconds. DECK I can now be operated using the
remote control unit, but DECK II cannot.
DOLBY NR
7
Dolby NR System
Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the
amount of tape hiss, mainly in the treble
components. During recording, the highpitched
pianissimo sounds which are most characteristic
of audible noise are boosted, and during
playback, only these boosted sections are
attenuated, so that tape sound is returned to
normal. As a result, the noise is attenuated by an
amount equal to the boosting in the treble
range. The Dolby B-type NR system reduces
noise in the treble range, cutting tape hiss and
expanding the dynamic range. The Dolby C-
type NR system is even more effective in
reducing noise, as it reduces noise from the mid-
range on.
NOTE:
When a tape has been recorded using
the Dolby B-type or C-type NR system, make
sure that the
DOLBY NR
switch is set to the
same position during playback.
Switching to DECK II
To restore remote control operation to DECK II,
press the
stop
(
7
) button of DECK II while
DECK II is in stop mode. DECK II can now be
operated using the remote control unit. Remote
control operation can be switched back and
forth between decks by pressing the stop button
of the desired DECK while it is in stop mode.
NOTE:
If a power failure or a sudden change in
the power supply (caused by lightning, etc.)
occurs, the unit is reset to its original state. Only
DECK II can be operated by remote control. To
restore operation to either deck, repeat the
above procedure from the beginning.
