Notes
The AMS function may not work correctly if:
— the blank space between tracks is less than 4 seconds long.
— the signal strength of the left and right channels are very
different.
— there is a passage of low frequencies or very low volume
within a track.
Since the counter is not a digital clock, it will differ from the
actual elapsed playback or recording time.

You can start playing a tape at any time you want by
connecting a timer (not supplied). Please also refer to
the instructions of the timer if you need help.
