Before placing a 26.5 cm (IOV2") reel on the NAB adapter, turn the
outer ring (D) of the adapter anti-clockwise until the three keys of the
movable part of the ring are above those of the lower stationary part
(see Fig. 2). The full reel of tape should be placed on the left NAB

adapter, the empty reel on the right adapter. Once the reel is in place,
turn the outer ring of the adapter clockwise until a clear stop is felt
(see Fig. 3).
To thread the tape, run a tape lead of about 50 cm (20") from the left-
hand (supply) reel - without slack - past the tape tension sensor into
the threading slot between the front tape-head cover and the tape-
head assembly, out past the right tension sensor onto the right (take-
up) reel and turn the take-up reel until the supply reel is turned along
with it. On pressing the power switch and actuating the START or FAST
FORWARD key, the tape lead will wind onto the take-up reel until the
transparent or metal-coated switching foil appears. The foil activates
an automatic shut-off switch for all deck functions. The foil-activated
switch may be disengaged by pressing the counter reset button; hence,
with the reset button down, lightly touching the START or FAST
FORWARD key will begin tape transport again. The zero reset button ©
must be held down until the switching foil has cleared the tape head
assembly.
Note: Tapes which have been played or recorded on other tape machines
must be inspected to make certain that they are tightly wound onto the
reel. If necessary, unwind and rewind the tapes on your SG 631 before
using them to record or replay.
To facilitate loading tape when small sized reels (under 18 cm) are used,
first press the PAUSE @ and CUEING @ keys; then deactivate them
after loading tape on it.
