Tape Types and Length
Any type of tape (Normal, High, or Metal) can be used with the
PMD520. High or Metal tapes have superior performance com-
pared to Normal Tapes. The PMD520 can sense which kind of
tape is being used, and will automatically adjust bias, EQ, etc.
C-60 or C-90 length tapes are recommended, as C-120 tapes
are often too thin, and can become entangled in the transport
mechanism.
Remote Operation
The period ( 0 0 . 0 0 ) of the time display will flash depending
on which Well is being addressed by a conected remote con-
trol.
