DECK I Tape remaining time indicators
These indicators show the approximate amount of time
remaining on the tape when the cassette deck is in the
recording or playback mode. When the tape nears its end, the
indicators flash and then go out one by one. The indicated
time remaining will vary depending on the type of tape and the
size of the hub.
When the tape nears its end, the remaining time indicators
flash and go out one by one. Each indicator represents approx-
imately 2 minutes of remaining time when using a C-60 or C-46
cassette tape, or approximately 2-1/2 to 3 minutes when using
a C-90 cassette tape. When a tape with a large hub is used, the
L-HUB "E" (end) indicator (the fourth indicator) indicates the
end of the tape.
When a tape with normal hub is used, the N-HUB "E" (end)
indicator (the sixth indicator) indicates the end of the tape.
(Fig. 1)
EXAMPLES:
• During recording or playback of a C-90 tape with a normal
hub. (Fig. 2 above)
2 rain. 30 sec. x 2 indicators = about 5 minutes remaining.
• During recording or playback of a C-46 tape with a large
hub. (Fig. 3 above)
2 rain. x 3 indicators =approximate/y 6 minutes remaining.

NOTES:
• When the "E" (end) indicator begins to flash, the tape will
end soon.
• The function of the remaining time indicators varies
somewhat depending on the thickness of the tape and the
size of the hub.
• A standard "large" hub is about 1.1 inch (27ram) in
diameter. If the loaded tape has a hub larger than that, the
indicators may be incorrect.
USING THE COUNTER
I
Before starting playback or recording, press the COUNTER
RESET button to reset the tape counter to 0000 and the time
counter to 00:00. Jotting down the value displayed on the
counter at important points during recording or playback
makes it easy to find those points later.
NOTE:
The time counter displays only the recording or playback time.
If a fast-forward, fast-reverse, or music search operation is
carried out during recording or playback, the time counter
stops and the multifunction display switches to the tape
counter display mode.
When recording or playback is resumed, it returns to time
counter display mode, and the time counter begins again.
Do not turn off the power in mid-operation
If the POWER switch is turned off and then on again, the tape
counter is reset to 0000.

• If the tape in DECK I is changed, but the cassette tray is
not opened (e.g., another tape from the tray is loaded),
the tape counter will display information on DECK I.
• When an operation button is pressed, the tape counter will
display information on the deck whose operation button
was pressed.
