If “A” or “B” flashes continuously
The automatic calibration procedure has been
interrupted by:
• The end of the tape. Reverse the tape
direction or rewind the tape to a new position
that allows recording of the test tone.
• Damaged tape or dirty heads. Change the
cassette or clean and demagnetize the heads
(see page 21).
Updating the calibration
setting
If you load a cassette and “A CAL” or “CAL
B” appears in the display, it means that
automatic calibration data in that deck for that
tape type (I, II or IV) exists. However, we
recommend that you repeat the automatic
calibration procedure each time you load a new
cassette since cassettes of the same type also
vary in their characteristics.
Before recalibrating, be sure to turn off “A
CAL” or “CAL B” by pressing the DECK A
or DECK B button. Then start from Step 2 of
the automatic calibration procedure.
