Notes

•The unit cannot search for an unrecorded portion for 20 seconds at the beginning of the tape until it searches for the next unrecorded portion throughout the tape.

•While a tape is running, be sure not to turn off the power by using an AC timer. The unit and the tape may be damaged. When turning off the power of the unit, make sure to press STOP button on the unit first to stop the tape transport, then turn off the power.

•The editing software used on the digital non-linear editing system may mark an index signal on a tape itself. Therefore, if you use a tape on which signals transmitted from a digital non-linear editing controller are recorded or a copy tape made from one, using digital dubbing, Auto Repeat may not be performed correctly.

To stop Auto Repeat

Press STOP button on the unit.
