Peak level meters:

Indicate the peaks of the signal levels during recording and playback over a –30 dB to +6 dB range. There are separate meters for each left and right channel. These level meters have a peak hold function which holds the peak level for about 1.5 seconds. (The peak hold function works in the level from –10 dB to +6 dB.)

Linear time tape counter

Use the linear time tape counter as an aid in locating a point on a tape (–99 min. 59 sec. to 99 min. 59 sec.). To set the counter reading to "0:00", press the COUNTER RESET button.

Note: Precision of counter

The tape counter is not a clock, and so there will be some errors in the time display compared to the actual playing time (this cannot be avoided, as a suitable method is adopted to provide a time display not only during recording and playback, but also during fast forward and rewind). The error depends on the type of tape being used.

Tape remain indicator

The tape remain indicator shows the remaining length of the loaded tape to be played back.

When the playback reaches the end of the tape, the leftmost digit of the tape remain indicator blinks.

Indicates the remaining tape length.

Lights when a tape is loaded.

Note:

The tape remain indicator may differ depending on the tape length, tape type or the size of hub. So, use this indicator as an aid to recognize the remaining length of the tape to be played back.

Notes on the monitor function

During playback, the deck automatically selects the tape monitor mode. (The TAPE indicator lights.) If the monitor mode is switched to the source monitor mode by pressing the MONITOR button, no sound is heard. (The SOURCE indicator lights.)

During playback, be sure to set the MONITOR button so that the TAPE indicator lights.
