While pausing duplication mode, you can change the tape on the player. Therefore, you can duplicate a series of tapes on a single tape.
To change the tapes

During pause, the confirmation display appears.

•When you change the source tapes, the beginning of the connecting portion of the recorded content of the work tape may be distorted.
•When you start duplication again, the beginning of the recorded content of the work tape may be distorted as playback starts again.
Detecting a blank portion during duplication
If the unit detects a blank portion on the source tape during duplication, it skips the blank portion automatically, reducing the length of the recorded part of the tape.
The operations of the player and recorder (the unit) when a blank portion is detected are as follows:
Detected status on | Player/Recorder (the unit) |
source tape | operation |
|
|
Detects a blank portion | Player: Continues playing the |
| tape. |
| Recorder: Continues |
| recording. |
|
|
Certain seconds after | Player: Continues playing the |
detection of a blank | tape another certain |
portion | seconds and searches |
| forward. |
| Recorder: Stops. |
|
|
Detects next recorded | Player: Rewinds the tape at |
portion | about |
| normal speed to the |
| location immediately |
| before the blank |
| portion ends. |
| Recorder: Remains stopped. |
|
|
Returns to the location | Player: After entering the |
immediately before the | playback pause mode, |
blank portion ends | starts playing the tape. |
| Recorder: After entering the |
| recording pause |
| mode, starts |
| recording. |
|
|
The unit performs the above operations automatically to reduce the blank portion of a tape during duplication.
Notes
•Depending on the specifications, the skip function may not work on some players.
•When the unit resumes duplication, the first part of the recorded portion on the source tape may be dropped on the copied tape.
•A recorded portion of less than one minute between two blank portions may not be duplicated.
