"Select" shows in the LOCATE
TIME window, and you can use the keypad to specify
which machine will be controlled
from the remote. You
can select only one machine at a time.

enables to record time code into the subcode area of the
tape loaded on that machine,
TC REC is also used to copy time code at the same time
as digital data from one DA to another DA. For more, see
pagesll.2&3.
25. REPEAT key
Enables the selected machine to play a loop determined
by the START and END memory points.
26. START and END keys
Pressing
START after STR puts the current
LOCATE
TIME (which you may have entered with the V key on
the fly or with the numeric keys) into memory as the start
point of play loop. Likewise,
pressing END after STR
specifics the end point of your loop.
You can recall the start&d
point into the LOCATE TIME
-
window by pressing
START/END.
Then you can "fine
tune" that time with the UP and DOWN keys, Pressing
LOC locates the tape to the start or end point (whichever

; so you can audition that point to
check for accumcy.
Pressing
REPEAT
lets the tape play over and over
between the START and END points,
