FRONT PANEL FACILITIES
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 (for-
ward) side, its direction is automatically reversed,
and playback or recording continues on the other (re-
verse) side. When it reaches the end of the reverse
side, the tape stops automatically (auto stop func-
tion). If playback or recording is started from the re-
verse 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 approxi-
mately five seconds. DECK I can now be operated using
the remote control unit, but DECK II cannot.
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 re-
mote 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.
DOLBY NR
7
Dolby NR System
Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the
amount of tape hiss, mainly in the treble compo-
nents. 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 attenu-
ated 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.
