The accidental erasure
prevention function
prevents sections of the
tape on which material
has already been
recorded from being
recorded over.
Heads for CTL recording
signals and playback
signals are positioned as
shown in the figure
below. These heads
permit or inhibit recording
based on whether or not
CTL signals are present,
thereby preventing the
accidental erasure of
material recorded on the
tape. When the REC/
PLAY button is pressed
at a section of the tape on
which material has been
recorded, the tape will
travel, however the REC/
PLAY button will flash, an
alarm will sound and
recording will not be
performed.
