| FRONT PANEL FACILITIES
| REVERSE MODE SWITCH (REV MODE)
| (CT-W503R/CT-W403R)
There are three settings:
One way mode = position
When the switch is set to this position, playback or recording is
performed on one side of the tape only. When the tape reaches
the end of the side, it stops automatically (auto stop function}.
Two way mode = position (CT-W503R/DECK H of
CT-W403R only)
When the switch is set to this position, playback or recording can
be performed on both sides of the tape. When the tape reaches
the end of the first (lorward) side, its direction is automatically
reversed, and playback or recording continues on the other
(reverse) side. When it reaches the end of the reverse side, the
tape stops automatically (auto stop function). ff playback or re-
carding is started from the reverse side, the tape will stop when it
reaches the end of that side.
Repeat mode = position (RELAY/SKIP) (CT-
W503R/DECK II of CT-W403R only)
When the switch is set to this position for playback, both sides of
the tape are played back repeatedly until the stop (il) button is
pressed, or until the tape has been played completely 15 times (16
sides). If the pause button is pressed to pause the tape, and then
playback is restarted, the repeat mode starts over from the begin-
ning, and will play the tape 15 times (sixteen sides).
When the switch is set to this position for recording, both sides
are recorded and then the tape stops, as described above for the
two way mode.
[DECK | of CT-W403R]
When playback continued until the end of the tape, the rewind
auto play mode is engaged. The tape will then be automatically re-
wound and played back again until the end of the tape. The rewind
auto play mode will continue to repeat this function 16 times until
the stop {ill) button is pressed.

This
system
automatically
compensates
high

above
1
kHz
according
to
the
1/f
curve
during
playback.
Generally,
envelope
line
of

distribution
of
Hi-Fi
sounds
corresponds
statistically
with
the
1/f

The
1/f
curve
indicates
that
if
the
frequency
doubles,
the
level
decreases
by
approx.
half
of
the
original
frequency
level.
®
During
playback,
the
FLEX
system
automatically
compensates
tapes
with
poor
sound
quality
at
high
frequency
ievels
of
1
kHz
and
over,
based
on
the
appropriate
auditory
characteristics.
The
FLEX

is
designed
to
