Blank Section and Sound
Muted Portion
With conventional analog audio tapes, the
tape portion on which no recording ever
has been made and the portion on which a
recording has been made but the sound is
muted are treated the same, since no
sound can be heard from these portions.
However, with DAT cassette, you should
know that the two kinds of "no sound"
portions must definitely be distinguished
one from the other.
Blank section Å
Means the portion on which no recording
ever has been applied.

Important
When recording, be certain that no blank
section is left on the tape. If blank sections
remain on the tape, search operations
using the AMS buttons, for example, may
take quite a long time or the absolute time
is not written correctly.
Difference between the blank
section and sound-muted portion
When you record, a track format is
constructed on the recorded area, even if
the sound is muted during recording. On
the blank section, since no recording is
applied, there is no track format.
