Note on Beeps during AMS operations

•When finding the beginning of the next 3 tracks during AMS operations, beeps “• – – –” (beep followed by three long beeps) are emitted repeatedly. Likewise, when finding the beginning of the previous 2 tracks, beeps “•• – – –” are emitted repeatedly. While the remaining tracks are reduced, the number of long beeps are reduced accordingly.

Note on AMS, REPEAT Single Track

•To operate the AMS and the REPEAT Single Track functions, you need a blank of 4 seconds or longer between the tracks. Therefore, if there is noise between the tracks, these functions will not detect the blank and will not operate. Likewise, if the recording level is moderately low within a track, these functions may inaccurately operate.
