When the switch is set to this position, playback or recording is per-
formed on one side of the tape only. When the tape reaches the end
of the side, it stops automatically (auto stop function).
Two way mode _ position
When the switch isset to this position, playback or recording can be
performed on both sides of the tape. When the tape reaches the
end of the first (forward) side, its direction is automatically reversed,
and playback or recording continues on the other (reverse) side.
When it reaches the end of the reverse side. the tape stops auto-
matically (auto stop function). If playback or recording is started from
the reverse side, the tape will stop when it reaches the end of that
side.
Repeat mode c--._)position
When the switch is set to this position for playback, both sides of
the tape are played back repeatedly until the stop (i) button is
pressed, or until the tape has been replayed 15 times (32 sides play-
back). If the pause button is pressed to pause the tape, and then
playback is restarted, the repeat mode starts over from the begin-
ning, and wifl play the tape 15 times (32 sides playback).
When the switch is set to this position for recording, both sides are
recorded and then the tape stops, as described above for the two
way mode.

unit as follows: With the power off. press and hold the stop (i) but-
ton of DECK I, and turn the power on. Continue to hold the stop (i)
button for approximately five seconds. DECK I can now be operated
using the remote control unit, but DECK II cannot.

either deck, repeat the above procedure from the beginning,
DOLBY NR
• Dolby NR System
Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the amount of tape hiss,
mainly in the treble components. During recording, the highpitched
pianissimo sounds which are most characteristic of audible noise are
boosted, and during playback, only these boosted sections are at-
tenuated, so that tape sound is returned to normal. As a result, the
noise is attenuated by an amount equal to the boosting in the treble
range. The Dolby B-type NR system reduces noise in the treble
range, cutting tape hiss and expanding the dynamic range. The Dolby
C-type NR system is even more effective in reducing noise, as it re-
duces noise from the mid.sage on.
NOTE:
When a tape has been recorded using the Do/by B-type or C-_ype NR
system, make sure that the DOLBY NR switch is set to the same
position during playback.
