A tip for use of the tape counter
The tape counter is set to “0000” when a cassette tape is loaded. By writing down the counter reading in case you want to interrupt recording (playback) in the middle of the tape, the memo will be helpful as a reference for lo­cating the same position when continuing the recording (playback) the next time. The tape counter figure decre­ments during recording or playback of the back side (while the 2 tape transport indicator is lit). To set the tape counter to “0000”, open the cassette holder once. Then the counter will be reset.
Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute re­cording time, for the tape used with such a cassette is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as en­tanglement around the pinch roller or cutting of tape.
