(NORM/CrO,/METAL)
This mechanism uses the sensor holes on the cassette to detect the
type of tape being used. It then automatically adjusts the proper
recording bias and equalization for the tape. The type of tape is then
shown on the tape indicator. Refer to page 19 for the different types
of cassette tapes and their hole positions.
NORM: _ This indicator lights when normal tapes are used.
CcrO,:
This indicator lights when CrO, tapes are used.
METAL:
This indicator lights when metal tapes are used.
NOTE:
When using metal tapes without sensor holes, the tape selector
will be set on the CrO, position. In this case, optimum recording
and erasure may not be possible. We thus recommend that you
use metal tapes with sensor holes. Pre-recorded metal tapes can
be played as is on this unit.
