Notes
• The unit cannot search for an unrecorded portion for
20 seconds at the beginning of the tape until it
searches for the next unrecorded portion throughout
the tape.
• While a tape is running, be sure not to turn off the
power by using an AC timer. The unit and the tape
may be damaged. When turning off the power of the
unit, make sure to press STOP button on the unit first
to stop the tape transport, then turn off the power.
• The editing software used on the digital non-linear
editing system may mark an index signal on a tape
itself. Therefore, if you use a tape on which signals
transmitted from a digital non-linear editing
controller are recorded or a copy tape made from one,
using digital dubbing, Auto Repeat may not be
performed correctly.
To stop Auto Repeat
