Auto backspace function
This control operates only when the foot control unit is connected.
With the use of the REVERSE TIME control, the tape is rewound a little
each time it is stopped. Then, the last few recorded words can be reviewed
when you resume listening. Adjust the REVERSE TIME control to
determine the length of tape to be rewound.
At “9” position, the tape is rewound so that the dictated material can be
reviewed for about 5 seconds*. At “0” position, the tape stops without
being rewound at all.
Set the REVERSE TIME control to the desired position and keep the right
side of the pedal depressed to listen to the tape.
* Measured at some point near the middle of the tape. The reverse time will vary in
accordance with the remaining length of the tape.

Notes
When the button is pressed
while detecting the index signal
during playback, the switching
time of the operation modes
may be delayed.
When a cassette which was not
recorded using a Sony
Professional Dictating Machine
(BM-531, 560, 570, 577, 820, 880,
890, etc.) is played back or
wound rapidly (in fast forward
or rewind mode), the switching
time of the operation modes
may be delayed. In this case, set
the unit to the Electronic “Index
OFF” mode. (See page 15.)
Note
If the LTR or SEC signal is
detected while the tape is being
rewound with this function, the
length of the reverse time may be
longer than the setting you have
selected.
