the sampling frequency as shown below.
When sampling frequency is 48 kHz:

Adjusting the output timing of the memory start
You can select the time required by the unit to output
the sound after you press the PLAY key in the range of
0 to 500 milliseconds.
See section 7-3 "Dial Menu Operations" (page 7-5).
The cross fade time is set to 10 ms at the factory. You
can set this fade time within the range of 0 to 999 ms.
See section "Cross-fading time in sync recording mode"

To find the precise edit point from a video editor
You can set the sound memory to the mode that
enables you to find the precise start point using
memory jog. In this case, you can not perform
memory start, but you can use this mode to find the
edit point from the video editor using memory jog and
to determine the time code of the audio signal.
See section 7-3 "Dial Menu Operations" (page 7-5).
Using the memory start function together
with the search operation
If you conduct the search operation using the
LOCATE key or the START ID NEXT/PREVIOUS
key in the memory start mode, the tape goes to the
locate point immediately, and automatically stores the
sound data around that point into the sound memory.
When the unit enters the memory start standby mode,
it operates in the same way as the normal memory
start.
Using the memory start function when
writing Start ID/Skip ID/End ID
You can write ID more precisely using the memory
start function.
This function is effective regardless of the setting
made with setup menu "StArt" item.
See section 7-3 "Dial Menu Operations" (page 7-5).
