To stop copying

Press the stop ( ) button of either deck. Both decks will stop.

NO TES:

The tape in DECK II will be copied in the same type of the DOL- BY NR switch as DECK I's tape, regardless of its own setting. When listening to the copied tape, set the type of the DOLBY NR switch on DECK I.

If a nearby television set is on while high-speed copying is be-

ing performed, a high-pitched interference sound may be heard on the tape. In this case, either use the normal speed copying

function, or turn off the television.

During high-speed copying, none of the operation buttons will function except for the stop ( ) button.

During normal speed copying, the recording mute ( 0 ) and

pause (ll) buttons of deck II also function.

Tape copying is cancelled when either of the two tapes reaches

the end. Therefore, it is advisable to use tapes of the same length.

The sound quality of the copied tape will be somewhat less than

the original. Therefore when making more than one copy, al- ways record from the original tape (do not make a copy of a copy).

The recording level adjustment is not necessary during tape cop ying.
