Notes:
Cassette tape type
<1>
is identified a few times during mode
transition and the identification count is variable depending on
the cassette tape type. If an EMG occurs in the middle of identi-
fication, the cassette tape type may not be able to be identified.
If other value than those listed in the above table is displayed,
the cassette tape type is not identified.

Note:

EMG detail information <2> is the reference information

stored using the remaining tape detection function of the

cassette tape. As a result, it may not identify cassette cor-

rectly when a special cassette tape is used or when the

tape has variable thickness.

1.6.5 EMG detail information <2>
The type of the cassette tape and the cassette tape winding po-
sition can be confirmed based on the figure in EMG detail infor-
mation <2> .

Note:

In the case of the "HD* microprocessor, as the display is

always "-7 at any intermediate position between modes,

the position of transitory EMG may sometimes not be lo-

cated.
