2 MUSIC SEARCH SYSTEM
The music search system detects blank sections
(lasting for at least 4 seconds) between selections in
order to locate the beginning of selections in the
forward or reverse direction.
1. To advance from the current selection to the
beginning of the next selection (CUE) :
Press the Play ( 1 ) button simultaneously with
the Fast Forward ( 7 ) button. Press the Play
( 0 ) button simultaneously with the Rewind
( 6 ) button.
The deck will skip the rest of the current selection
and automatically resume play from the beginning
of the next selection.
2. To repeat playback from the beginning of the
current selection (REVIEW) :
Press the Play ( 1 ) button simultaneously with
the Rewind ( 6 ) button. Press the Play ( 0 )
button simultaneously with the Fast Forward
( 7 ) button.
The deck will rewind the tape to the beginning of
the current selection and automatically resume
play from that point.
This is very convenient for repeating playback of
the current selection.
Notes on Music Search Operation :
The search functions operates by detecting
comparatively long, blank sections approximately 4 to
5 seconds long, in between recorded selections.
Therefore, the system may not operate normally in
the following cases:
• Recordings with discontinuous speech or
conversation.
• Recordings with long periods of pianissimo (softly
played music).
• Blank sections with a high level of noise.
• Blank sections shorter than 4 seconds.
• If noise-emitting appliances, such as electric razors,
drills, refrigerators, etc., are operated nearby.
• REVIEW close to the beginning of the program or
CUE close to the ending.
2 POWER ON PLAYBACK
Playback starts automatically when the power is
turned on.
• Playback is performed according to the reverse
mode set when the power was turned off.
• Playback is performed even if a cassette tape is
only loaded in one deck.
• Playback always starts in the “1” tape travel
direction.
• When tapes are loaded in both Deck A and Deck B,
playback starts from Deck A.

Caution :
Be careful not to erase important recordings by
mistake. Inadvertent start of recording will happen
in the following cases:
1. If the Play ( 0 or 1 ) button is pressed while the
4 indicator lights, recording starts.
2. If the Play ( 0 or 1 ) button and Rec/Rec Mute
( 4 ) button are pressed at the same time,
recording starts.
The best way to avoid accidental erasure is to break
off the two erasure prevention tabs on the cassette
housing.
2 PROPER RECORDING LEVEL
A too high recording level can saturate the tape and
cause distortion. On the other hand, if the recording
level is set too low, soft passages will be marked by
residual noise. A proper recording level is the most
important factor for making well balanced recordings.
Guideline for maximum recording level
Type I (Normal) +3 dB level on peaks
Type II (CrO 2 )
Type IV (Metal) +3 dB level on peaks
+3 dB level on peaks
Note :
The optimum recording level differs depending on
the program source and the type of tape used.
