Convenient Functions
AUTO STOP function
With the AUTO STOP function, recorded documents and instructions can
be located without the user’s having to listen to the entire tape.
This function activates only in rewind or fast forward mode.
When the AUTO STOP button is pressed, AUTO STOP appears on the
display window and the tape automatically stops at each electronic index
signal previously recorded on the tape. (See “To record LTR and SEC
signals” on page 9.)
• When the LTR signal is detected, the LTR document counter number
increases or decreases, “LTR” blinks for approximately 3 seconds, and a
beep tone is heard. The tape stops automatically.
• When the SEC signal is detected, the special instruction counter
number increases or decreases, “SEC” blinks for approximately 3
seconds, and a beep tone is heard. The tape stops automatically.
When the AUTO STOP function is off, the numbers on the LTR
(document) and SEC (special instruction) counters increase or decrease
and “LTR” or “SEC” blinks when an LTR or SEC signal is detected, but the
tape does not stop.
Controlling the speed
Set the SPEED CONTROL switch* to ON to adjust the speed only by the
SPEED control. The tape can be played back at higher or lower speed than
normal.
When the SPEED CONTROL switch is set to OFF, the tape moves at the
normal speed regardless of the position of the SPEED control.
* Tape speed can be changed in the range of about –10% to +50% with the use of
the SPEED control.
