NOTE
The time set here is real time, rather than the
time shown on the tape counter, which in LP
mode is half that of real time. Accordingly, in
LP mode, if the time is set to 4 seconds, this
will be the pre-roll time, even though only 2
seconds show on the tape counter.
The default value is 0 seconds.
3.10End tally signal
Controls the timing of the tape end tally signal trans-
mitted through the CONTROL I/O [34] port. The
signal can either be transmitted at the end of the tape,
or at a fixed interval before the tape end.
The values available are: T-End (the tally signal
will be transmitted at the end of the tape), 1min,
2min and 3min (the tally signal will be trans-
mitted before the end of the tape is reached).
The default value is T-End.
3.11Auto rewind
This menu item determines whether the tape will be
automatically rewound when the end of the tape or an
END ID is reached in play mode.
The two options available are: off (the tape will
not be rewound when the end of the tape or an END
ID is reached) and on (the tape will be automati-
cally rewound when the end of the tape or an END
ID is reached).
The default value is off.
3.12Fast forward mode
This menu item determines whether the F FWD and
REW keys will act as cue and review keys, respec-
tively, if they are pressed while the tape deck is in
play mode. The two settings are Normal (the
unit will go from play mode to fast wind) and Cue
(the unit will enter cue/review mode when the fast
wind keys are pressed).
The setting made here also applies to fast wind com-
mands made through the CONTROL I/O [34] con-
nector, and using the optional RC-D45 remote
control unit.
The default value is Normal.

ENTER [26].
