@» Play button
to
release the pause mode. This button is very convenient for making
blank sections of sufficient length for automatic song sensing
systems such as AMCS
that operate by detecting biank sections
between
songs.
The Automatic Tape Selection System
This deck automatically detects the type of cassette that has been
loaded in the cassette holder and sets the bias and equalization to
the correct settings. The cassette type is then displayed by the tape
selector indicator
[12] . Tape selection is performed by detecting the
presence or absence of identification pits on the back of the cassette
shell. Cassettes manufactured
before this identification system was
adopted and bargain cassettes that do not incorporate these pits can
not be used with this deck.
Timer Recording and Playback
When connected to an audio timer (optional), this unit can be set
for preset timer recording and playback. Connect the tape deck and
the rest of the audio system to the audio timer and test the
arrangement to be sure that timer recording and playback proceed
properly. Refer to the audio timer instruction manual
for directions
on making connections.

Handling Cassette Tapes
Erasure Prevention
Cassette
tapes are constructed with erasure prevention niches along
the back edge that are initially covered by break-off tabs. Once a
recording has been completed, break off the tab(s) to prevent
accidental erasure since it will no longer be possible to depress the
record button with such a cassette. If at some later date you wish to
re-record that cassette, simply cover the openings with smail pieces
of cellophane tape, being sure that the metal or high position
detection holes are not covered, too.
