Notes on tape speed adjustment
• Whether tape transport is operating at the normal
speed or at an adjusted speed, you can use the
numeric buttons to adjust the speed.
• If the numeric value on the LOCATE TIME display
is outside the range of ±12.5%, when you make the
adjustment it is restricted to +12.5% or –12.5%.
Notes on tape speed adjustment during a
synchronized operation
• When using external synchronization with a word
sync signal or AES/EBU format digital audio signal,
it is not possible to vary the tape speed.
• When you change the tape speed, the internal clock
changes in synchronization. Therefore the word sync
and sector sync signals output by the PCM-3348HR
and the sampling frequencies of the digital input and
output data values also change.
