Cut tape diagonally with an overlap so that the ends are lined up
(cutting on diagonal eliminates detection of splice in recording)
.
Co ver aligned ends with spi icing tape. Press firmi y exerting pressure
to secure ends evenly
.
Trim off excess splicing tape, cutting into
tape very slightly. Th
~liminates
the possibility of a sticky splice.
For smooth and easy tape splicing, Akai's portable tape splicer,
Model AS-3 is recommended.

.
TAPE ERASING
Il
.
Any signal information previously recorded on a tape will be erased
automatically as a new recording is made on the same tape. For
erasing only, thread the tape· and set machine to recording mode.
No plugs should be connected to the input jacks and recording
input level controls should be set to minimum
