Notes � Because the programmed data changes every time the RANDOM button is pressed, the amount of time remaining at the end of the tape also changes accordingly. � If the tape�s length is not enough, all tracks cannot be programmed. In this case, exchange the tape for a longer one.

In step 2, you can check the program data for side A and side B.
