Tape Types and Length
Any type of tape (Normal, High, or Metal) can be used with the
PMD520. High or Metal tapes have superior performance com-
pared to Normal Tapes. The PMD520 can sense which kind of
tape is being used, and will automatically adjust bias, EQ, etc.
C-60 or C-90 length tapes are recommended, as C-120 tapes
are often too thin, and can become entangled in the transport
mechanism.
Remote Operation
The period
(00.00)
of the time display will flash depending
on which Well is being addressed by a conected remote con-
trol.
