Thank you

for

selecting the Elmo ST·600D Sound Projector.

The

Elmo ST·600D

is

a high performance sound projector

capable

of

magnetic recording

and

playback on two

sound

tracks

as

well

as

playing back ready·made optical sound

film

(Model M·O).

What's more, this new

sound

projector features unlimited sound

recording

potentials including, dubbing capabilities which enable

the buildup

of

the most sophisticated sound tracks in the most
effortless manner.
Be

sure

to

carefully

read

through this instruction manual

to

make

the most

of

these

fascinating features

and

to

ensure

against improper

handling that may result in

damage.

Track

1

(Main stripe)

INTRODUCTION

Two Track System

Track 2

(Balance

stripe)

As shown in

the

above

illustration,

8mm

sound

film

comes striped

with

magnetic coatings on

both

edges,

also

known

as

"magnetic

stripe."

The wide

or

"main"

stripe

is

used

to

carry the sound

track

when

used

in

conventional projectors. This sound stripe

will

be called Track 1 here-

after

in

this

manual.

The

narrow

or

"balance"

stripe,

that

runs

just

outside

the

film

perfo-

rations,

is

used

for

balance

to

ensure

smooth

film

travel

through

the
projector.
Though

Track 2 is

narrow

in

width,

it

is

coated

with

the

same

quality

magnetic

oxide

as

that

on

Track

1.

So,

the

Elmo ST-600D utilizes

both

the

main stripe and

the

balance stripe

for

recording and playback.

We

have designated this new sound system a

Two

Track

System.

After

receiving

your

sync-sound

film

from

the

processing laboratory,

there

will

most

likely

be

sound on

Track

1.

Music and

narration

can

be

added

to

the

balance

track

(Track 2)

to

accompany

your

original sound on

Track

1.

You

may record

on

Track 2 as

often

as

desired

or

until

you

are

totally

satisfied

with

the

mixed

recording. This

is

done

without

affecting the original sound

on

Track

1.

[If

the

film

does

not

come striped

with

a magnetic coating,

it

is

necessary

to

ask

your

nearest

photo

dealer

to

have

your

film

striped

when sending

it

in

for

processing.)
