Note

If the LTR or SEC signal is detected while the tape is being rewound with this function, the length of the reverse time may be longer than the setting you have selected.

Notes

•When the button is pressed while detecting the index signal during playback, the switching time of the operation modes may be delayed.

•When a cassette which was not recorded using a Sony Professional Dictating Machine (BM-531, 560, 570, 577, 820, 880, 890, etc.) is played back or wound rapidly (in fast forward or rewind mode), the switching time of the operation modes may be delayed. In this case, set the unit to the Electronic “Index OFF” mode. (See page 15.)

14 Operations

Auto backspace function

This control operates only when the foot control unit is connected. With the use of the REVERSE TIME control, the tape is rewound a little each time it is stopped. Then, the last few recorded words can be reviewed when you resume listening. Adjust the REVERSE TIME control to determine the length of tape to be rewound.

At “9” position, the tape is rewound so that the dictated material can be reviewed for about 5 seconds*. At “0” position, the tape stops without being rewound at all.

Set the REVERSE TIME control to the desired position and keep the right side of the pedal depressed to listen to the tape.

*Measured at some point near the middle of the tape. The reverse time will vary in accordance with the remaining length of the tape.
