Mechanism position MSW code
Description
ULE
E
Unload end position. The mechanism stops at this position when it ejects a cassette. It waits for
cassette insertion. The guide starts to expand as it advances to the load position.
BL
F
Blank code. It is provided between code and code. The mechanism does not stop at this code
(excluding Load/Unload).
DEW
C
Code during loading.
LE
D
Load end position of tape guide.
REW
9
Position of REW operation. The pinch rollers are released.
FF
5
Position of FF operation. The pinch rollers are released.
STOP
7
Stop position. The pinch rollers are released, the tension regulator returns, and the brake is applied
to both reels.
FWD/RVS
B
PB, REC, CUE, REVIEW, and PAUSE positions. The mechanism operates at this position in the
mode where normal screen appears with the pinch rollers in contact state and the tension regulator
turned on.
NULL
0
Code not existing in MD. Default value.
