Auto Space Recording Pause
The WE PAUSE button
25) is normally used to cut out
unwanted portions of a program (commercials, conversations,
etc.) during recording operations.
However, this often results
in a tape where the next song begins immediately after the
last one.
The Auto Space button [27] is provided to solve
this problem. To use this button, just press it once at the
point in the recording where you want to enter a blank
section about five seconds long. When the Auto Space button
is pressed, the play indicator flashes on and off and tape
transport continues.
However, no signal is recorded on
the tape for a period of about five seconds.
After a blank
portion has been inserted, tape transport automatically
stops and the deck returns to the REC/PAUSE standby
mode.
To insert a blank section of tape less than five
seconds long, press the ® forward 13] or —« reverse play
button [10] before the five second period has elapsed to
return to the recording mode or press the I PAUSE
button 25] to return to the REC/PAUSE standby mode.
To insert a blank section of tape more than five seconds
long, keep the Auto Space button
depressed for as
long as you want the blank section to be. The deck will
return to the REC/PAUSE standby mode immediately
after the button is released. To continue recording, press
the » forward
or ~# reverse play button [10} to release
the pause mode.
This button is very useful for making
blank sections of sufficient length for automatic program
sensing systems (such as the AMCS) that operate by
detecting the blank sections between songs.
frequency saturation level of cassette tapes to allow you
to record signals that would normally cause distortion.
The maximum output level of cassette tapes is increased
by more than 4 dB at 10 kHz by this system.
Using the Filter Button
When recording an FM broadcast using Dolby NR, the
19 kHz pilot signal and the 38 kHz subcarrier signal
included in FM stereo broadcast signals can cause the
Dolby circuitry to malfunction. To prevent this from
occurring, the TA-R77 is equipped with a filter button
so that the Dolby circuitry can be operated through a
filter. Therefore the filter button [14] should be ON when
recording an FM broadcast using Dolby NR and OFF at
all other times.
Using the AMCS Function
The AMCS (Automatic Music Control System) automatically
locates the beginning of each song on a tape and plays the
first 10 seconds (approximately) of each one. It is partic-
ularly useful to rapidly check the contents of a cassette.
When the AMCS button 26 is pressed during forward tape
playback, the tape is rapidly wound to the beginning of
the next song and, as the play indicator flashes on and off,
the first 10 seconds of that song is played. Then the tape is
rapidly wound to the beginning of the next song and,
again, the first 10 seconds is played. This process is
repeated until the = forward [13] or =areverse play
button [10 is pressed or the end of the tape is reached.
When the AMCS button [26] is pressed during reverse tape
playback, the same process is performed in the reverse
direction. if you want to hear the entire song, press the
» forward (13) or «reverse play button to cancel the
AMCS function and return to normal playback.
The AMCS circuit operates by detecting the blank sections
between songs. If the space between songs is too short,
the AMCS circuit may go on to the next blank space
of sufficient length. In order to assure that the blank
sections between songs on your cassettes are long enough,
you should use the auto space button to insert these
spaces when making recordings.
Note:
When AMCS is activated during reverse playback, AMCS
may not operate properly if a section within the 10
seconds played back has a quiet portion that could be
sensed as a between-songs gap. If this happens, press the
AMCS button again.
Timer Recording and Playback
When connected to an audio timer (optional), the TA-R77
can be set for preset timer recording and playback.
Connect the tape deck and the rest of the audio system to
the timer as shown in the following diagram and test the
arrangement to be sure that timer recording and playback
proceed properly. The direction of tape travel will be the
direction set immediately before power was last turned off.
