Accidental erasure protection function

This function is used to prevent parts already recorded on a tape from being recorded over. Accidental erasure of pre-recorded tapes is prevented by positioning the CTL signal rec/play heads as shown in the figure below so that whether a recording has been made can be determined by the presence or absence of the CTL signal. When the REC/PLAY button is pressed with a pre- recorded tape, the tape runs but the REC button lamp blinks, the beeping alarm is sounded, and no signals are recorded.
