4-2 Setting the Cross Fade Time
Monitoring the cross fade sound during
sync recording
The X'FADE OUTPUT button selects the monitor
signal output during sync recording.
Pressing the X'FADE OUTPUT button toggles it on
and off.
When the X'FADE OUTPUT button is on
The monitor output signal switches between the
recording and playback signals exactly as recorded on
the tape. This enables you to check the cross fade
effect, for example after changing the cross fade time.
There is, however, a very slight delay between the
input signal and the playback monitor signal, which is
due to the A/D and D/A conversions.
When the X'FADE OUTPUT button is off
There is no delay between the input signal and the
playback monitor signal. This is convenient when
dubbing over an existing recording.
In this case, the cross fade time used for recording is
set using the X'FADE TIME control, but this cross
fade time is not apparent on the monitor signal.
When using a digital audio input signal, the sound
memory function, or the digital copy function,
however, this mode is not active, and the monitor
signal always includes the digital cross fade effect.
