In the case of premastered tapes, the remaining time is to the end of the recorded portion.

*The playing time of the track will not be displayed when the “P-TMDISP” menu is set to “--” (see page 25).

**The date and time of recording and the current date and time will not be displayed when the “DATEDISP” menu is set to “--” (see page 25).

***If this information is not recorded on the tape, nothing will appear.

To reset the tape running time

Press COUNTER RESET.

When “DATE” appears in the display

“DATE” remains lit when the date and day of the week or time of recording appears, and flashes when the current date and time appears.

Notes

When playing certain types of premastered tapes, “BB” may appear momentarily in the display at the beginning of the tape.

The playing time of the track does not appear in the following cases:

When you start playing from the middle of the track

During rewinding

In standard-play mode, the remaining time on the tape appears about 16 seconds after you start playing.

The displayed remaining time may vary somewhat from the actual remaining time, depending on the tape.

If “EMPHASIS” appears in the display

The deck is playing an audio signal recorded with emphasis (in the higher frequencies). The deck, however, plays the signal while automatically deemphasizing it (with attenuation proportional to the degree of emphasis).
