[. . . ] When it reaches the end of the reverse side, the tape stops automatically (auto stop function). If playback or recording is started from the reverse side, the tape will stop when it reaches the end of that side. Repeat mode position When the switch is set to this position for playback, both sides of the tape are played back repeatedly until the stop (7) button is pressed, or until the tape has been replayed 15 times (32 sides playback). If the pause button is pressed to pause the tape, and then playback is restarted, the repeat mode starts over from the beginning, and will play the tape 15 times (32 sides playback). When the switch is set to this position for recording, both sides are recorded and then the tape stops, as described above for the two way mode. RELAY PLAY/BLANK SKIP If Deck I and II are loaded with tapes, each tape will be played using relay palyback. DOLBY NR 7 Dolby NR System Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the amount of tape hiss, mainly in the treble components. During recording, the highpitched pianissimo sounds which are most characteristic of audible noise are boosted, and during playback, only these boosted sections are attenuated, so that tape sound is returned to normal. As a result, the noise is attenuated by an amount equal to the boosting in the treble range. The Dolby B-type NR system reduces noise in the treble range, cutting tape hiss and expanding the dynamic range. The Dolby C-type NR system is even more effective in reducing noise, as it reduces noise from the mid-range on. NOTE: When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby B-type or C-type NR system, make sure that the DOLBY NR switch is set to the same position during playback.
