NORMAL RECORDING

Concerning the Number of Times Tapes

can be Rerecorded on

Depending on the recording speed mode, the tape must
be replaced after a certain number of recording times.
Refer to the table below for the maximum number of times
a tape can be recorded on.
Recording speed mode
(hour mode) Maximum number of
recording times
(with a standard grade
tape)
2 100
12 50
24 50
48 25
72 15
NOTES:
XThe maximum number of recording times will vary
depending on the location and kind of tape used. Verify
the recording quality and replace the tape when the
quality starts to deteriorate.
The maximum number of recording times indicated
above are based on test tapes (T-120) used by the
company.
XIf using longer tapes (i.e. T-160) the tape travel will not
be as stable and that may cause problems.
