Sony Comprehensive Guide to Fading Functions and Dubbing on Cassette Players

Fading In and Out (Fader)

You can gradually increase the recording level at the beginning of a recording (fade in) or gradually decrease the recording level at the end of a recording (fade out).

It is convenient to use this function, for example, when the tape reaches to its end and you don’t want the track to be cut off abruptly.

You can do fade in or out recording only when you have adjusted the recording level manually

(see page 7).
