Detecting a blank portion during
duplication
If the unit detects a blank portion on the source tape
during duplication, it skips the blank portion
automatically, reducing the length of the recorded part
of the tape.
The operations of the player and recorder (the unit)
when a blank portion is detected are as follows:
Detected status on
source tape
Detects a blank portion
Certain seconds after
detection of a blank
portion
Detects next recorded
portion
Returns to the location
immediately before the
blank portion ends
The unit performs the above operations automatically
to reduce the blank portion of a tape during
duplication.
Notes
• Depending on the specifications, the skip function
may not work on some players.
• When the unit resumes duplication, the first part of
the recorded portion on the source tape may be
dropped on the copied tape.
• A recorded portion of less than one minute between
two blank portions may not be duplicated.
