Punching-in/punching-out during
rechasing
The unit can punch-in at a specified IN point and
punch-out at an OUT point during synchronous
playback (rechasing). You can also perform rehearsal
prior to actual recording. The edit accuracy is ± 0
frames.

Set the chase offset time.
For details of how to set the chase offset time, see
"Setting the chase offset time" (page 6-7).
4
Set the IN point and OUT POINT.
For details of how to set the IN and OUT points, see the
section "Time code repeat playback" (page 5-3).

To rehearse, press the PLAY key while holding
down the CHASE key.
"cHASE rEH" appears on the display. The unit
enters chase mode. The sound played back from
the controlling device is output from the
MONITOR output connectors at the IN point after
locking. The reproduced sound from this unit is
output from the MONITOR output connectors at
the OUT point.

Play back the tape on the controlling device. To
perform automatic punch-in and punch-out, press
the REC key while holding down the CHASE key.
"cHASE Edit" appears on the display and the REC
indicator flashes. The unit enters chase mode and
punches in at the IN point after synchronization,
then punches out at the OUT point.
Note
The unit has to synchronize with the external time
code at the IN point, thus operate the controlling
device such that the unit starts playing back 5 to 6
seconds prior to the IN POINT.
Notes on chase synchronized operation
• To operate in chase mode, the controlling device and
the controlled device should be using the same kind
of continuous time code without any blanks.
• As the tape speed of this unit gets to 150 times
normal speed in the FF or REW mode while the time
code output is always at a normal speed, the output
time code jumps after 5 continuous frames except in
normal playback mode. Therefore, when you use this
unit as the controlling device and other equipment as
the controlled device, the chase synchronization may
not operate effectively.
• When the unit locks to the incoming external time
code while chasing in the insert audio mode, the unit
will start recording audio signals (Chase
synchronized recording function). In this case, select
sync recording mode.
