Aute reverse function
This unit uses rotary type recording and playback heads, and
the same heads are used in both the forward and reverse
directions. Tape end detection is employed to control auto
reverse operation which takes place about 2 seconds after
the tape is taken up.
NOTE:
A leader tape having a length equivalent to about 5 seconds is
attached
to an
ordinary
cassette
tape.
This means
that for
two-way travel of the leader tape there will be a break of about 12
seconds in the sound. Be very careful of this, particularly when
making a two-way recording.

the tape.
Questions (Q) and answers (A) on recording
Q: How is the recording level adjusted?
A: This unit has a built-in automatic
level control which
dispenses with the need to adjust the recording level.
Q: What is the difference between the operation of playing
a tape in one deck and recording the output onto a tape
in another deck (tape dubbing), and tape copying?
A For tape dubbing, Dolby NR is used on the playback side
hence the recording side is always a normal recording.
In other words, a tape which
has been made
by tape
dubbing is always played back with Dolby NR OFF.
