on the tape can be used in various
convenient ways during playback.
Recording absolute time codes
When you record, the absolute time codes
are also written automatically from the
beginning of the tape.
Once the absolute time codes are
recorded, it cannot be re-written. With the
absolute time, you can check the elapsed
time from the beginning of the tape.
Note, however, that the absolute time
codes are not written if you start recording
from the middle of blank section. No blank
sections should be left on the tape when
recording.
Tips for recording:
• To insert silence between selections, use
the record muting function (page 25). Do
not advance the tape with the ¡ or 3
button.
• To start recording from the middle of the
tape, use the end search function (page
26) to locate the beginning of the blank
section. This will avoid leaving a blank
section.
If a blank section is left on the tape
If you start recording from the middle of a
blank section, the absolute time codes are
not recorded, since the DAT deck can no
longer count the absolute time from the
beginning of the tape.
