Recording lead-in mark

When recording on a non-recorded tape, it is neces- sary to record a lead-in mark. The lead-in mark is an area where no signal is recorded and should be recorded at the start of the tape so that the start of a program is not clipped during recording or playback.

(1)Rewind the tape to the beginning of the tape with the REW key.

(2)Press the PAUSE key while pressing the RECORD key. The lead-in mark is automatically recorded, then the Record-Pause mode is engaged.

ÉWith non-recorded tapes, this operation is per- formed automatically even if recording is started without performing operation (2). When recording a source from which audio signals are input imme- diately after recording starts, be sure to perform the above operations before starting recording.

ÉWhen you rewind a tape on which a lead-in mark has been recorded, the lead-in mark is played back automatically, then the tape stops. While the lead-in mark is played back, "BB" is shown in the program number display.
