Operation

Stop mode

1 The unit is set to the stop mode when the STOP button is pressed.

The STOP lamp lights and the tape stops traveling.

In order to protect the tape, the unit is set to the tape protection mode after the period of time set in the “STILL TIMER” set-up menu item has elapsed. (See page 27) When the STOP, REW, FF or PLAY button is pressed, the unit is set to the corresponding mode.

<Precautions for setting the still timer>

When the same part of the same tape is used repeatedly, the cumulative standby time in the same place increases.

In order to protect the tape, set the standby time for the same place on the same tape to as short a duration as possible.
