Before Recording
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
As with absolute time, the machine must recognize the current program number (PNO) in order to record the
next sequential number. If there is no PNO showing on the display, then only Start ID's are recorded, without
PNO''s. This can occur, for example, if the tape is inserted into the machine in the middle of a segment, because
Start ID's and PNO''s are recorded only for the first 9 seconds of a program.
To set program numbers before recording:
In the recording standby mode, use the program number buttons on the remote control transmitter to input the.
number of the program to be recorded next.
The program number input flashes on the program number display.
Press the PLAY or FADE IN button.
Recording commences, and when the next Start ID is recorded, the programs are recorded starting with the
program number which was set.
¢ If the audio level exceeds selected detection level after it has fallen below selected detection level for more
than two seconds, the Start ID is recorded automatically.
e When making a recording from another DAT using the IEC Digital Input, Start ID's may be transmitted
as well as the audio information. However, not all models transmit Start [D's. If in doubt, check with the
manufacturer. Start ID's are recognized by the IEC Digital I/O on Panasonic and Technics models SV-
DA10/3700/3900/4100/3800. Additionally, the SV-4100/3800 AES/EBU ports transmit and receive Start
ID's.
¢ Ifthe source tape has Start ID's which are less than 18 seconds apart, they will either not record onto the
copy, or may be offset a few seconds late.
¢ Some compact discs have a very short interval between tunes. Even in these cases, however, if your CD
player has an auto space function, the space between tunes can be extended automatically so that
program numbers are entered correctly during recording.
To cancel the automatic program numbering function:
Press the PNO/START ID AUTO button.
2) Manual recording of program numbers
Note:
1 Make sure the pno/start ID auto indicator goes out. Press the PNO/START ID AUTO button if the indicator is
illuminated.
Press the PLAY button where you want to record a program number during recording. Each time this operation
is performed, a program number (1, 2, 3 etc...) is recorded on the tape. These program numbers may be checked
on the program number display.
Make sure that the PNO display shows a program number. In this case, starting the tape from the record
standby mode will increment that number and record it. If no number is indicated, then only a start ID is
recorded without a program number (PNO).
¢ In automatic or manual recording of program numbers, a Start ID of 9 seconds duration is recorded each '
time a program number is recorded.
e If the tape is stopped temporarily with the PAUSE button, AUTO REC MUTE button, or the fade out,
then recording is started again by pressing the PLAY button after the pno/start ID auto indicator has
gone out, a program number is recorded at that point.
