Transcribing

Useful Functions

xAuto stop function

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 the rewind or fast forward mode.

When the AUTO STOP selector is set to ON, the tape automatically stops at each LTR signal previously recorded on the tape. (See “LTR signal” on page 14.)

Notes

The tape does not stop at the LTR signal even if the AUTO STOP selector is set to ON while the J FF button or the j REW button is continuously depressed.

When the AUTO STOP selector is set to ON, the tape automatically stops at each SEC signal previously recorded on the tape with the Sony Professional Dictation Machine.

When the AUTO STOP selector is set to OFF, the tape does not stop even if the electronic index signals have been previously recorded.

Notes

E-INDEX signal of the Sony conventional models corresponds to the LTR signal of BM-87DST.

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

Set the AUTO STOP selector to OFF to transcribe either a music cassette or a cassette which has not been recorded with the Sony Professional Dictation Machine, otherwise the tape may automatically stops in the rewind or fast forward mode.

xControlling the speed

Set the SPEED CONTROL selector to ON to adjust the tape speed with the SPEED control. The tape can be played back at a speed faster or slower than normal. Set the SPEED CONTROL selector to OFF to transcribe the dictated material at the normal speed.
