Linear time tape counter
Use the linear time tape counter as an aid in locating a point
on a tape (–99 min. 59 sec. to 99 min. 59 sec.). To set the
counter reading to "0:00", press the COUNTER RESET
button.
Note: Precision of counter
The tape counter is not a clock, and so there will be some
errors in the time display compared to the actual playing
time (this cannot be avoided, as a suitable method is
adopted to provide a time display not only during recording
and playback, but also during fast forward and rewind).
The error depends on the type of tape being used.
Tape remain indicator
The tape remain indicator shows the remaining length of the
loaded tape to be played back.
When the playback reaches the end of the tape, the leftmost
digit of the tape remain indicator blinks.
Note:
The tape remain indicator may differ depending on the tape
length, tape type or the size of hub. So, use this indicator as
an aid to recognize the remaining length of the tape to be
played back.
Notes on the monitor function
During playback, the deck automatically selects the tape
monitor mode. (The TAPE indicator lights.) If the monitor
mode is switched to the source monitor mode by pressing
the MONITOR button, no sound is heard. (The SOURCE
indicator lights.)
During playback, be sure to set the MONITOR button so that
the TAPE indicator lights.

Display during playback
When high frequencies
are too loud, attenuate
the high frequencies.
When high frequencies are
too soft, boost the high
frequencies.
Peak level meters:
Indicate the peaks of the signal levels during recording and playback over
a –30 dB to +6 dB range. There are separate meters for each left and
right channel. These level meters have a peak hold function which holds
the peak level for about 1.5 seconds. (The peak hold function works in the
level from –10 dB to +6 dB.)
PLAY TRIM control adjustment
When distortion or the absence of high frequencies is
noticeable while playing a tape recorded on another
cassette deck, compensate the high frequency response
with the PLAY TRIM control.
