Multi-Counter

Tape Counter Mode

In this mode, the counter functions as a conventional tape counter, counting up when the tape is moving forward and down when the tape is being rewound. The display can be cleared by pressing the CLEAR button, which resets the counter index to "0000".

Blank Scan

This function is provided so that the deck will skip long blank portions during playback.

1.During playback, press the BLANK SCAN button (the indicator lights).

If a blank section of more than about 10 seconds is detected during playback, the deck will enter the fast-forward mode automatically. When the beginning of the next recorded section is detected, playback will resume.

2.To release blank scan, press the BLANK SCAN button again (the indicator goes off).

Notes:

…When the REV MODE switch is set to the Ë or ä position, the tape will be fast-forwarded at the end of either side of the tape after running the tape for 10 seconds without any sound.

…To check if the tape is entirely blank, start blank scan at the beginning of either side with the REV MODE switch set to the ä position.

…If there are sections of tape recorded at a low signal level, because of fading out, etc., these sections may be detected as blank and blank scan may start. In this case, the music will be interrupted for about 10 seconds.
