To Record Start ID's During Playback
1) Automatic recording
In this method, a Start ID is automatically recorded on the tape wherever a *level transition is detected. A Start
ID is recorded at the beginning of each segment on tapes where program numbers have not been recorded. In
the case of tapes that already contain Start ID's, the previous recording is erased and a Start ID is recorded where
the audio begins. As long as these Start ID's are recorded, you will be able to make full use of access play and
program play functions.
* Level transition: means the audio signal must exceed the selected detection level threshold after at least 2
seconds below selected detection level. This is referenced to 0 dB, which is maximum
recording level.
Enter the auto mode. The pno/start ID auto indicator illuminates.
Press the START ID button. The start ID indicator flashes.
While listening to the playback sound on the tape, advance or rewind the tape using the SHUTTLE SEARCH,
dial. Then, near the point where you want to insert a Start ID, press the ID WRITE button. The start ID indicator
will flash, a Start ID will be recorded where the sound begins, and the indicator will illuminate for about 9
seconds. In this automatic program number recording mode, Start ID's about 9 seconds long will also be.
automatically recorded one after another where sound begins.
To cancel the auto mode:
Press the STOP button. The indexing function will be released.
Press the PNO/START ID AUTO buiton. The pno/start ID auto indicator will go out.
