Notes

The AMS function may not work correctly if:

the blank space between tracks is less than 4 seconds long.

the signal strength of the left and right channels are very different.

there is a passage of low frequencies or very low volume within a track.

Since the counter is not a digital clock, it will differ from the actual elapsed playback or recording time.

Playing Using a Timer

You can start playing a tape at any time you want by connecting a timer (not supplied). Please also refer to the instructions of the timer if you need help.
