STR (store) key
This key is used to store time values into memory
locations.
Pressing STR followed by a pair of numbers (from
00 to 99) will cause the value in the LOCATE
TIME display to be stored in one of the 100 cue
point registers. Similarly, pressing STR followed
by either IN, OUT, START or END will cause the
displayed value to be stored in the appropriate
memory location.
RCL (recall) key
This key is used. to recall the time values stored in
memory locations into the LOCATE TIME display
window.
Press RCL followed by a pair of numbers (from 00
to 99) to recall the time value stored in one of the
100 cue point registers into the LOCATE TIME
display window. Similarly press RCL followed by
either PRE, POST, IN, OUT, START or END to
recall the time value stored in one of those memory
locations into the LOCATE TIME display window.
Press LOC to locate the tape to the time value
displayed in the LOCATE TIME window.
CLR (clear) key
When pressed, the LOCATE TIME display is
cleared and shows 00.00.00.00.
CLR also overrides STR and RCL key operation.
CUE STR (cue point store) key
Pressing this key captures the current TAPE TIME
on the fly and directly stores it into memory. That
time point is read into the LOCATE TIME
window. Each time you press this key, a new cue
point is stored into the next available memory, e.g.
into memory 5 if the MEMORY NO. display
showed "04" just before you press the key.
Remember, if you press this key when "99" shows
in the MEMORY NO. window, your new cue point
is stored into memory 01, erasing the previous cue
point in that memory register.
© Numeric keys
Unless you press STR or RCL before pressing
numbers on the keypad, entered numbers will
appear on the LOCATE TIME window. Each time
you enter one digit, the previously entered digits
will shift to the left.
Chapter 2 Location and Function of Parts
When STR or RCL is pressed, numbers you have
entered will appear on the MEMORY NO window.
If, after having pressed STR, you notice that some
figures in the LOCATE TIME numbers are wrong,
then you can correct them with the UP and DOWN
keys. Or, if you want to correct the hour or minute
numbers, you'll have to clear the whole numbers
by pressing the CLR key before entering the
correct numbers.
When MACHINE is pressed and "Select" appears
in the LOCATE TIME window, only one digit (1 to
9) can be entered.

When the TAPE TIME display shows a Relative
Reference time (page 6-12), if the current tape time
is read into the LOCATE TIME window by
pressing the W key, that time number will be
marked "-" or not, depending on whether the tape
_ _ was running behind or ahead the 0 reference point.
The + key is used to turn the - mark on or off to
meet your requirements.
@ RHSL (rehearsal) key
Rehearsal is the first stage of an automatic insert or
punch-in recording. This key allows you to preview
the punch-in recording before it is actually done on
