@ FF SWITCH
* @ LEVEL METER
This indicates the recording level during recording and the output
level during playback. The top part is for the left (L) channel and the
bottom part for the right (R) channel.
@ DUAL MODE COUNTER (COUNTER)
This counter has two functions, ''tape counter" and ''real time
counter," depending on the position of the counter mode switch
(@
TIME/TAPE).
When used as a "tape counter," the figures change as the tape
travels and its transport position is indicated by a 4-digit number.
When the RESET button is pressed, the counter is reset to "0000."
When the power is switched on, the counter functions as a ''tape
counter."
When used as a "real time counter,"' the remaining time on the tape
during recording or playback is indicated. Set the TAPE CAPACITY
switch to the position corresponding to the type of tape (length, hub
diameter) being used. For further details on the dual mode counter,
refer to page 15.
@ TAPE CAPACITY SWITCH
(TAPE CAPACITY)
When the dual mode counter is used as a real time counter, this
switch is set in accordance with the tape type (tape length, hub
diameter).
L46 ..... For C-46 large hub diameter tapes.
46 ...... For C-46 tapes.
60 ...... For C-60 tapes.
90 ...... For C-90 tapes.
NOTE:
For tapes other than those listed above, set to the position nearest
to the actual length of the tape used. In those cases, there may be
some difference in the time displayed.
@ RESET BUTTON (RESET)
Press this to reset the tape counter to 0000." Before recording or
playback, press this button to reset the tape counter to ''0000." It
will then be easy to find programs on the tape if a note is made of
the tape counter numbers and of the recording or playback con-
tents. The numbers provide you with a guideline for finding pro-
grams afterward which you want to listen to. The tape counter can
be reset while being used as a real time counter, however "0000" is
displayed only while the RESET button is depressed.
' @ TAPE RETURN SWITCH (TAPE RETURN)
When this switch is pressed, the fast forward or rewind functions
will begin, sending the tape to the '0000' position, where it will
automatically stop. This is a convenient function when you wish to
listen immediately to a program you have just recorded, or when
you wish to perform repeat play of a certain program.
COUNTER MODE SWITCH
(@ TIME/TAPE)
Push this switch to select the dual mode counter function.
REC MASTER VOLUME
CONTROL
(REC MASTER)
This control is for adjusting general recording levels. The recording
level increases when the control is turned clockwise, and decreases
_when
turned counter-clockwise.
The control is equipped with a
memory marker useful for remembering a predetermined volume
level, for example when performing fade-in.
@ REC LEVEL PRESET VOLUME CONTROLS
(REC LEVEL PRESET)
These are normally set in the click position (W). After setting the
general recording level with the recording master volume control,
these controls can be used to finely tune the R and L channels'
volume levels. The recording level is increased when the controls are
turned in the (+) direction, and reduced when the controls are turn-
ed in the (—) direction.
@ TIMER SWITCH (TIMER)
NOTE:
The timer switch should always be in the OFF position when not
performing timer recording or playback. If a cassette tape is in-
serted and the switch is set to the REC or PLAY
position, the unit
will automatically enter the recording or playback mode whenever
the power switch is turned on.
@
BIAS SWITCH
(Connected to TIMER SWITCH)
Depending on the program source to be recorded, this switch can
be set in 3 positions to adjust the peak bias in a + 15% range. When
you wish to emphasize high ranges or low ranges, you can choose a
setting with deeper (more) or shallower (less) bias. When bias is
shallow, the high ranges are extended, but distortion increases in
proportion. Conversely when bias is deepened, the high ranges fall
off, but distortion is lessened.
UNDER:
Set to this position for recording music such as rock
music with wide dynamic range in the high ranges, and
substantial modulation of sounds.
PEAK :
For recording. most general kinds of music.
OVER:
Set to this position when you wish to record classic and
other similar music with increased middle and low range
MOL, and low distortion.
NOTE:
This switch operates when the TIMER switch is set to the REC
position.
