Using the Auto Accubias System Auto Accubias is a system that allows you to automatically set the optimal recording bias and level for the tape being used. To activate this system, simply press the AUTO ACCUBIAS button when the unit is in the recording-standby mode. While the system is calculating the optimal settings (the ACCUBIAS SET indicator flashes), the tape is automatically fast forwarded and rewound, a test signal is recorded on it and then played back. In the display, the flashing bias indicators move to the right and left, and stop at the 0 position. When the optimal bias and level settings have been set, the ACCUBIAS SET indicator stays lit and the tape is rewound to the position where the setting was started. Note: Do not initiate the Auto Accubias function when the tape is near the end of the side. Manually Adjusting the Recording Bias Although the Auto Accubias system may be used to set the recording bias and level as explained above, you can adjust the recording bias independently for the right and left channels when the unit is in recording-standby mode or simultaneously during recording.
