Sony BM-845D manual To rewind the tape, To rapidly advance the tape, Auto Stop function

Notes

•The tape does not stop at the LTR signal even if the AUTO STOP function is on while the FF or REW button is continuously pressed.

•When AUTO STOP is displayed, the tape automatically stops at each electronic index signal (LTR, SEC or E-INDEX) previously recorded on the tape with the Sony Professional Dictation Machine (BM-577, 850, 890, etc.); however, the unit does not recognize the difference between the LTR and SEC signals.

Notes

•E-INDEX signal of the Sony conventional models BM-577 and so on corresponds to the LTR signal of the model BM-845.

•LTR, SEC and E-INDEX signal do not correspond to the cue signals used for consumer type tape recorder.

AUTO STOP function

This function is useful when you use the tape on which the LTR signal is recorded using the BM-845 or electronic index signal is recorded using other Sony Professional Dictation Machine.

With the AUTO STOP function, recorded documents can be located without the user’s having to listen to the entire tape.

This function activates only in rewind or fast forward mode.

When the AUTO STOP button is pressed, AUTO STOP appears on the display window and the tape automatically stops at each LTR signal previously recorded on the tape. (See “LTR (letter) signal” on page 9.)

When the AUTO STOP function is off, the tape does not stop even if the electronic index signals have been previously recorded.

Controlling the speed

Set the SPEED CONTROL switch* to ON to adjust the speed only by the SPEED control. The tape can be played back at higher or lower speed than normal.

When the SPEED CONTROL switch is set to OFF, the tape moves at the normal speed regardless of the position of the SPEED control.

*Tape speed can be changed in the range of about –10% to +50% with the use of the SPEED control.
