Making 8 memo of the contents of a recording and the range of the counter numbers while you sre recording or playing back a

NOTE:
This deck's linear tepe counter has been set for the following cassette tape lengths: C46, C50, C54, C60, C74, C90, C100, C120,
C46L, CSOL, and C5AL. IL indicates lerge-hubbed cassettes.) Using a tape that lies outside of this range, or 8 tape with a different
fength than the displayed lengths, will result in error. When using a tape that is not included in the TAPE SIZE selection, select the
tepe size closest to the length of the tape to be used. (This will reduce the error.)
The linear tape counter is not accurate like a clock. The thickness of the tepe will differ depending on the type of tape used (tape
position and time), and so there will be some error introduced. Error also arises from the difference between tapes with smaller
and larger hubs, and shows up in the remaining tepe display (END mark).
