so
that a recording can
be
made.
The red REC light
in
the recording
level
display illuminates to indicate
that the
NAD 6125
is
in
the
record ing
mode.
When
recording, the
machine
automatically
erases any
previous
recording
that
may
be
on
the tape.
NOTE: In many tape recorders the REC button
only
switches
on the recording
circuits,
and
it
is
necessary to press
both REC and PLAY to
engage
the tape and make
a
record-
ing,
But in the
6125
the
single
REC button
commands
the
entire
recording process. One-button recording
is
convenient,
but
it
means that if
you accidently
press REC instead of PLAY
when you
want to
play
back a
tape,
the machine will
imme-
diately go into
the
recording
mode and
begin to erase the
recording that you
wanted
to
hear,
To prevent such acci·
dents,
remove
the
erasure·prevention
tabs
(as
described
later)
from any
recorded
cassettes that
you
don't intend
to re·record
on.
With
these tabs removed
,
the REC button

pinch roller from
the capstan,
thus halting the motion
of
the
tape in
the PLAY
and
RECORD
modes,
while leaving the
playback
or
recording
circuits
active,
Pressing and releasing the
PAUSE
button
a second
time
provides an instant resumption
of
tape motion for playback or
recording
.
NOTE: The PAUSE
control
is intended to
stop
the
tape
motion
temporarily,
To
stop the
tape
for
more than
a few
minutes
,
use
the STOP
button,
The PAUSE function can only be disengaged by
pressing
and
releasing the PAUSE button; unlike the other functions of
the tape transport,
PAUSE does
not automatically disengage
when STOP is
pressed,
If
you
forget
that you
have left the
PAUSE
mode engaged, the Model
6125
may appear
to be
malfunctioning
when you
try
to
record
or
play
tapes,
When
you
press
RECORD,
for
example,
the red RECORD
light
will
illuminate and the incoming signal will register on the record-
ing
level display, but no
signal
will
be
recorded
on
the tape
until
the
PAUSE
is
released
.
(Then
the
changing
number
in
the
TURNS COUNTER
will
provide
confirmation
that
the
tape is
moving.)

intended
for use when
you
are
making recordings with Dolby B noise
reduction,
Any ultrasonic
interference
in the
