How to Tell[edit]
- Most tapes duplicated here were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in either Hong Kong, Korea or Taiwan, and had the audio track in linear only, although many SP-mode tapes duplicated at this arm did have a hi-fi audio track in addition to a linear track.
- Post-1986 tapes have a black screen test pattern with the 1000 Hz tone for about 45 seconds at the end.
- Some tapes have the recording tab intact; some tapes omit it.
- Certain 1997-2005 tapes were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in Korea.
- All tapes have a printing with a letter with the nominal tape length, mostly above the tab part. Examples: M-15, A-30, H-45, W-15, T-30, K-45, etc.
- 1986-1989 tapes would have a screen saying "FOR BEST QUALITY PICTURE ADJUST TRACKING CONTROL" or "FOR BEST PICTURE QUALITY ADJUST TRACKING CONTROL" at the beginning of the tape. This was later removed after 1989.
- Tapes by this duplicator do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
