inoperative. During normal tape transport or fast winding,
the function selector may be set to position "AMP" without
any risk of damaging the recorder: the effect is the same as
when the stop button (21) is depressed.
1.8. SPEED SELECTOR (13)
The desired tape speed can be set with the speed selector
(13): 19, 9.5 or 4.75 cm/sec. The lowest speed gives the
longest playing time and the highest speed the best sound
quality.
1.9. TRACK SELECTOR (11)
The right head-system operates when the tape runs to the
right and covers tracks 1 and/or 3. The left head-system is
operative when the tape runs to the left and covers tracks 2
and/or 4.
"1-4" (mono) When the tape runs to the right, track 1 is to
be used and when it runs to the left track 4. Recording level
indicator (7) "LEFT" is illuminated.
"ST" (stereo) When the tape runs to the right tracks 1 (left
channel) and 3 (right channel) are used. When the tape runs
to the left, you use tracks 4 (left channel) and 2 (right
channel). Both recording level indicators (7) '""LEFT" (left
channel). and (8) "RIGHT" (right channel) are illuminated.
"3.2" (mono) When the tape runs to the right, you use track
3 and when it runs to the left track 2. Recording level
indicator "RIGHF" (8) is illuminated.
1.10. AUTOMATIC STOP
At each end of the tape a piece of metal switching foil has
been inserted between the coloured leader tape and the mag-
netic tape. This switching foil can perform a switching
function when passing certain contacts in the tape slot. The
switching function is determined by the position of the
normal/reverse switch (14) (1.11.).
1.11. NORMAL/REVERSE SWITCH (14)
With the normal/reverse switch (14), the switching function
of the strips of switching foil at each tape end can be selected.
"NOR": the tape stops automatically both when the tape
runs to the left and to the right;
"REV": (red) at the end of the tape transport to the right
the recorder automatically changes over to tape transport
to the left. At the end of the tape transport to the left the
tape stops automatically.
Notes:
1. Both functions can be used during recording as well as
play back.
2. The reverse function is performed only at the end of tape
transport to the right. If continuous reversal is desired,
please consult your dealer.
1.12. PROGRAMME INDICATOR WITH PRE-SELECTOR
"AUTOSTOP" (3)
Make it a habit to reset the programme indicator to
"0000" immediately after threading the tape, by pushing the
zero-reset button. The programme indicator does not give an
indication as to the length or playing time of the tape: it
merely counts the number of revolutions of the left-hand
turntable.
Make a note of the position of the programme indicator at
the beginning of each recording on the index label of the tape

Notes:
1. To prevent erroneous interruptions during recording, the
pre-selector is inoperative during recording.
of the tape.
1.13. TIP-TOUCH KEYS (16 ... 22)
* <<] WIND" (20) = key for fast winding to the left.
Fast winding is discontinued by pressing the stop key
"STOP" (21) or by selecting another tape transport function.
"PAUSE" (18) = pause key for short interruptions during
recording or playback. To continue, just press the appropri-
ate start key. The recording function, if selected, then re-
mains switched on.
The pause key is inoperative during fast winding.
"REC" (17) = record key.
a. simultaneously with the pause key (18) to prepare for
recording; to start the recording you can then press the
appropriate start key (16 or 19), without disabling the
recording function.
b. simultaneously with one of the start keys for tape
transport (19 "RIGHT >" or 16 "<LEFT"). If during
recording in position recording/pause the other, not
illuminated start key for tape transport is pressed, the
recording function is not switched off and recording is
continued in the other direction.
