If a blank interval longer than 4 seconds is desired, keep pressing for as long as you want. When the MUTE/ SEARCH button is released, the deck enters Rec/Pause mode after making a 4-second blank interval. To resume recording, press the PLAY button. ÷ If a blank interval shorter than 4 seconds is desired, press the PLAY button at the desired point during Rec mute mode. Recording will be resumed from that point. During Rec mute operation, the REC indicator blinks. REC RETURN OPERATION - To return to the point at which the recording started During recording: When the # indicator is lit: ! When the @ indicator is lit: / ÷ If you press the PLAY button during recording, Rec Return automatically rewinds the tape to the point where the PLAY button was pressed. * If you reset the tape counter to "0000" during recording, Rec Return automatically rewinds the tape to the "0000" point. Rec Return functions according to the most recent operation. For example, if you reset the tape counter to "0000" and then press the PLAY button later, Rec Return rewinds to the point where the PLAY button was pressed. * The PLAY button cannot be used to mark a return point while dubbing. DOLBY HX PRO DYNAMIC BIAS SERVO SYSTEM (KX-W421 only) This unit incorporates the Dolby HX Pro system which automatically controls the effective bias to reduce distortion and noise, improving high frequency response during recording. Tapes recorded with this system retain the same high quality even when played back on any other cassette deck. Synchronized recording function When operating this unit in combination with the YAMAHA CD Player which has SYNCHRO button on its remote control transmitter, CD Synchronized recording function can be utilized. This function is operated with the remote control transmitter of the CD Player. (Regarding the operation, refer to the manual of the CD Player. ) 12 DUBBING (From DECK A to DECK B) You can make dubbing from DECK A to DECK B. ÷ When using Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) or Metal (Type IV/METAL) tapes, make sure you do not cover the hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation. AUTO TAPE SELECTOR DETECTION SLOTS The deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level and equalization according to the tape formulation -- all you have to do is to load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector does the rest. The Auto Tape Selector determines which type of tape is loaded by sensing detector slots in the top of the tape shell. Each tape formulation has its own characteristic hole markings standardized by the tape industry. ÷ Early model Metal (Type IV/Metal) tape formulation cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape Selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type tapes recorded on another deck will be played back with the deck at the Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) settings. YAMAHA does not recommend using this kind of tape. ÷ The deck does not have the required setting for Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr) tape, since this tape formulation is not widely used. Should you use a Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back at the Normal (Type I/NORM) settings, which will result in an unnatural high frequency emphasis. This effect may be compensated for somewhat by adjusting the PLAY TRIM control and/or the tone controls of your amplifier/receiver during playback. TYPE II TYPE IV TAKING UP SLACK IN THE TAPE As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage, remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes into the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil, pen or similar object into one of the spools and gently winding it until all the slack is removed. Be careful not to touch the tape part itself.
