Three head system
The three-head system allows the just-recorded sound to be
monitored while recording. You can compare the difference
between the recorded sound and the source sound by
switching the monitor mode (SOURCE or TAPE) with the
MONITOR button, so you can try to obtain a recording
sound identical to the source sound.
To monitor the just recorded sound

watch the meter readings. When using Normal position
tapes (type I/NORM) or High position tapes (type II/HIGH

peak is +4 dB. When using Metal position tapes (type IV/

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 recording
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 recorded.
When the recording reaches the end of the tape, the leftmost
digit of the tape remain indicator blinks.
Lights when a tape is loaded.
Indicates the remaining tape length.
