Playback; Instantaneous Tape Stop - Sony TC-55 Owner's Instruction Manual

Instantaneous tape stop
With the pause switch, tape motion can be stopped and
re-started instantaneously. This will be useful for record-
ing to eliminate unnecessary parts and also in the tran-
scribing.
o When an external microphone equipped with the stop/
start facility is used, tape motion will be controlled by
the switch on the microphone regardless of the position
of the pause switch on the recorder.
o When the recorder is not used for a long period of time,
depress the STOP button.
Note: Use the pause switch in the playback or record
mode. Be careful not to use it in the fast forward or re-
wind mode, as the tape might be deteriorated because of
its high speed transport.
