Convenient Functions
You can use some convenient functions if you dictate using the BM-845 or
Sony other models which can record electronic index signal, or if you play
back a tape which was recorded with electronic index signal.
AUTO STOP function
This function is useful when you use the tape on which the LTR signal is
recorded using the BM-845 or electronic index signal is recorded using
other Sony Professional Dictation Machine.
With the AUTO STOP function, recorded documents can be located
without the user’s having to listen to the entire tape.
This function activates only in rewind or fast forward mode.
When the AUTO STOP button is pressed, AUTO STOP appears on the
display window and the tape automatically stops at each LTR signal
previously recorded on the tape. (See “LTR (letter) signal” on page 9.)
When the AUTO STOP function is off, the tape does not stop even if the
electronic index signals have been previously recorded.
Controlling the speed
Set the SPEED CONTROL switch* to ON to adjust the speed only by the
SPEED control. The tape can be played back at higher or lower speed than
normal.
When the SPEED CONTROL switch is set to OFF, the tape moves at the
normal speed regardless of the position of the SPEED control.
* Tape speed can be changed in the range of about –10% to +50% with the use of
the SPEED control.

Notes
• The tape does not stop at the
LTR signal even if the AUTO
STOP function is on while the
FF or REW button is
continuously pressed.
• When AUTO STOP is
displayed, the tape
automatically stops at each
electronic index signal (LTR,
SEC or E-INDEX) previously
recorded on the tape with the
Sony Professional Dictation
Machine (BM-577, 850, 890, etc.);
however, the unit does not
recognize the difference
between the LTR and SEC
signals.
Notes
• E-INDEX signal of the Sony
conventional models BM-577
and so on corresponds to the
LTR signal of the model BM-845.
• LTR, SEC and E-INDEX signal
do not correspond to the cue
signals used for consumer type
tape recorder.
