Overall reliability has been in. In addition to the
high precision components, such as Sony
brushless motors and
indicators used in the function control block make the
BVH-2000 one of the most reliable machines available.
Numerous "alarms" are such as no-signal
drum non-rotation power supply and motor drive
circuit tape slack and
system communication abnormal alarm.
A tension release mechanism is provided to protect the tape.
The abnormal tension detector and the movable entrance
and exit guides open prior to tape end to give maximum
tape protection.
The BVH-2000 has been designed for the of operation
in every aspect. can be easily changed ac-
to individual needs.
