26-1. If the FORMAT MISMATCH Lamp Lights Repeatedly

If the FORMAT MISMATCH lamp lights, carry out the following diagnostic
procedure.
Are you using a blank tape?
Is the tape loaded upside down?
Are you using a DASH or
DASH PLUS format tape?

26-2. If the EMPHASIS MISMATCH Lamp Lights Repeatedly

If the emphasis information recorded on a channel which is in the recording ready
state is different from the EMPHASIS switch setting, the EMPHASIS MISMATCH
lamp lights. During recording, the emphasis information follows the EMPHASIS
switch setting, and therefore care is needed when recording repeatedly on a tape
being used for playback. If you continue recording while the EMPHASIS
MISMATCH lamp is lit, the recording will be carried out with different emphasis
settings from those recorded on the tape.
