Detecting a blank portion during
duplication
If the unit detects a blank portion on the source tape
during duplication, it skips the blank portion
automatically, reducing the length of the recorded part
of the tape.
The operations of the player and recorder (the unit)
when a blank portion is detected are as follows:
Detected status on
source tape
Detects a blank portion
Certain number of
seconds after detection of
a blank portion
Detects next recorded
portion
Returns to the location
immediately before the
blank portion ends
The unit performs the above operations automatically to
reduce the blank portions of a tape during duplication.
Notes
• Depending on the specifications, the skip function may
not work on some players.
• When the unit resumes duplication, the first part of the
recorded portion on the source tape may be dropped on
the copied tape.
• A recorded portion of less than one minute between
two blank portions may not be duplicated.
