The capability of creating blank unrecorded
=Jes
(erased) portions on a tape during recording
is a real advantage in many recording situa-
tions.
For
instance,
you
may
want
to
eliminate
undesired
portions
of an
FM
broadcast
that you
are recording,
such as
commercials,
station
breaks or announce-
ments. You may want to record a complete
Program
with controlled
spacing between
each song. Such blank portions on a tape
can
be easily left using the REC
MUTE
function.
1. Automatic Spacing Operation — for a 4-
second blank — (during recording)
Press
the
REC
MUTE
button
during
recording.
The
tape
movement
conti-
nues,
and
a blank space of about
4
seconds
is recorded
(the
RECORD
indicator flashes).
The deck then
switches automatically
to
the record-pause
mode
(both
the
RECORD and PAUSE indicators light).
To begin recording the next tune, press
the PAUSE
button (the PAUSE
indi-
cator goes off).
2. Automatic
Spacing Operation — for a
4-second blank — (during record-pause)
During the record-pause mode, pressing
the REC MUTE button causes the RE-
CORD
indicator to blink to show the
record-muting stand-by mode. As soon
as the PAUSE button is pressed, the tape
runs and the above-mentioned automatic
spacing operation will be initiated.
3. Fora Blank of More Than 4 Seconds
During recording, keep the REC MUTE
button pressed for a longer blank period.
Release the button to enter the record-
pause
mode,
To begin recording, press
the PAUSE button.
4. Fora Blank of Less Than 4 Seconds
After pressing the REC MUTE
button
during
recording,
press
the
PAUSE
button, before the 4-second interval has
expired, to cancel the muting mode and
engage the record-pause mode. To begin
recording, press the PAUSE button. Or
press the REC MUTE button again to
resume
recording without stopping the
tape.
Erasing
A previously
recorded
tape will be auto-
matically
erased
when
you
make a new
recording
on it.
Alternatively
it can be
erased
by
"recording"
on
it with
the
MASTER REC LEVEL control set to "0".

Tapes with various formulas are available
from
different
manufacturers,
In some
cases, however, tapes of the same type may
differ depending on the brand or lot. The
calibration controls allow you to adjust the
