To Obsolete Media Tape Deck FAQ

Pioneer Autoreverse

You can automatically reverse the tape from a forward to a reverse direction during playback if you stick the accessory sensing tape onto the magnetic surface of the playback tape. Moreover, you can also reverse the direction of the playback tape from reverse to forward by using the auto repeat mechanism. Finally, you can change over the direction of the tape manually to forward or reverse even during auto reverse by depressing the appropriate PLAY button.

The tape always goes from forward to reverse with automatic reverse which makes use of the sensing tape. It will not go from reverse to forward.

STICKING THE SENSING TAPE

  1. Use the accessory sensing tape (10 ~ 12mm).
  2. Stick the sensing tape onto the magnetic surface of the playback tape exactly where you want it to be automatically reversed. Make sure that the sensing tape does not protrude over the edges of the playback tape. It does not matter if the part of the tape earmarked for the sensing tape is the leader section.
  3. Smooth the sensing tape to remove any air bubbles.
