beeps “• – – –” (beep followed by
three long beeps) are emitted
repeatedly. Likewise, when finding
the beginning of the previous 2
tracks, beeps “•• – –␣ –” are emitted
repeatedly. While the remaining
tracks are reduced, the number of
long beeps are reduced accordingly.

Note on AMS, REPEAT Single
Track and BL SKIP
• To operate the AMS and the
REPEAT Single Track functions, you
need a blank of 4 seconds or longer
between the tracks. For the BL SKIP
function, you need a blank of 12
seconds or longer. Therefore, if there
is noise between the tracks, these
functions will not detect the blank
and will not operate. Likewise, if the
recording level is moderately low
within a track, these functions may
inaccurately operate.
To play a tape recorded with
Dolby* NR system
(see Fig. D-c)
Press MENU repeatedly to set the
cursor to a NR (Dolby noise
reduction) in the display. Then
press SET to show “ON”.

Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
