The XT20's display serves many functions. It shows the current level of each of
the eight audio tracks, it shows the current tape position numerically in hours,
minutes, seconds, and 100ths of seconds, and shows the current modes of the
many parameters available. It also is used as a window for editing parameters
such as pitch, track delay, tape offset, and locate points. With all segments lit
(which would not happen in normal operation), the display looks as follows:
When in a typical play situation, the display may look like this:
The meters show the current level of each playback track. Tracks 4 and 6 are
both in record (as indicated by the REC LEDs) and monitoring their inputs (as
indicated by the INPUT LEDs). The TIME counter (directly above the meters)
shows the current tape position, in this case relative to the user-defined
0:00:00.00 point (RELative Time). The display example above indicates that
the CLOCK is currently set to INTernal and 48KHz, the AUTO INPUT
MONitor is on, and the Analog input is selected. The
tape is detected, and the LOCKED icon tells us that playback is engaged.
