John Beer - "The SOS
switch turns off the erase section of the Z-Combo head, diverting the bias
signal to the record head while in SOS mode. When in normal mode, there is
no direct electrical bias signal sent to the record head, this is magnetically
induced from the erase section, due to the close proximity of both heads in the
single housing."
