VCR Deck Operating Description
8-4-6 Record/Playback Modes
When the record or playback button is pressed, the tape is fed by the rotation of the capstan motor.
In this case, a tension post touches the tape and braking froces created by the band brake linked with the tension
post is applied to the S reel, thereby stabilizing the tape tension. The tape fed by the capstan is taken up around
the T reel. The T reel is driven with a constant torque generated by transmitting rotation of the capstan motor to
the clutch mechanism.
