Setting

Relative Time
Offset
The
relative time can
also
be
set
by
specifying
an
offset:
1 )
Press the
SUB-MENU
key.
Its
indicator
will
flash.
2)
Press the OFFSET
key.
3)
Use
the jog wheel,
shuttle control,
or
number keypad
to
specify the
offset.
4)
Press
the STORE/ENT
key.
Relative time
will
now
be displayed with
the specified
offset.
The
following
diagram
shows
relative
time with a 20
second
offset:

setting
a
negative time
offset
If
you
set
a negative time
offset
while
the
BBC
display
is
shown,
relative
time 0001
:01 :00 will
precede
absolute time 0001:01:00.
If
the offset
is
small, playing
in relative
time
will
soon
exceed 24
hours absolute
time. Since
the
BBC
display cannot
show
time
in
excess of
24
hours,
an absolute time
indication
after
24
hours (midnight)
will
be
out
of
the
BBC
display range.
When
controlling a
MIDI
sequencer with
MIDI
sync,
setting
a negative
offset will
disable
sequencer
playback.
As
an
alternative, insert a blank bar
at
the top of the
sequencer
song. This
will produce
the
same
result as setting
a negative
offset
on
the
DR4vr.
