Notes
e@ Set the timer so that the tape deck is turned off after the locked
buttons are released by the automatic shut-off mechanism at the
tape end. For example, if a cassette giving 30 minutes of recor-
ding on one side is used on a program beginning at 8 : 00 a.m., the
locked buttons will be automatically released at 8:30 and there-
fore the timer should be set to turn off at about 8: 40 or 8: 45 to be
on the safe side. If the deck is turned off with buttons being lock-
ed, the pinch roller may be damaged.
@When not using a timer during recording or playback, do not set
the TIMER switch to ON. Otherwise, the tape will stop.
