pressed, resulting in fast forward tape travel.
During this action, a fast forward playback signal
is applied to pin L3 (SIGNAL IN) of IC401, and
if this signal is interrupted for about 84ms (cor-
responding to a portion of blank tape between
tunes) IC401 switches to playback mode auto-
matically. The above operation is much the same
when the REW button is pressed instead of the
FF button. Fig. 6-13 Tape travel detection

Timer recording, timer playback and off modes
are attained by changing the potential of IC401
pin 18 (TIMER) to * Vcc, ground, and open
respectively.
When a cassette tape with erasure prevention tabs
intact is loaded, and the POWER switch is switched
ON with the TIMER switch (S409) in the TIMER
REC position, recording mode is started about
four seconds after the power comes on. If the
erasure prevention tabs have been removed, how-
ever, the tape deck remains in stop mode.
If the POWER switch is switched ON with the
TIMER switch in the TIMER PLAY position,
playback mode is started about four seconds
after the power line voltage is established.There is
no timer start operations when the TIMER switch
is left in the OFF position.
