NOTES:

œ

The maximum number of recording times will vary
depending on the location and kind of tape used. Verify
the recording quality and replace the tape when the
quality starts to deteriorate.
The maximum number of recording times indicated
above are based on test tapes (T-120 and T-160) used
by the company.

œ

If using longer tapes (i.e. T-180) the tape travel will not
be as stable and that may cause problems.

Changes to the Recording Speed Mode
During Recording

It is possible to permit or prevent changing the recording
speed mode during recording.
