• The unit cannot search for an unrecorded portion for
20 seconds at the beginning of the tape until it searches
for the next unrecorded portion throughout the tape.
• While a tape is running, be sure not to turn off the
power by using an AC timer. The unit and the tape may
be damaged. To turn the unit off, press the STOP
button on the unit to stop the tape transport operation
beforehand.
• The editing software used by a digital non-linear
editing system may mark index signals on a tape itself.
Therefore, if you use a tape on which signals
transmitted from a digital non-linear editing controller
are recorded or a copy tape made from one, using
digital dubbing, AUTO REPEAT may not be
performed correctly.

Press the STOP button on the front panel.
