Sony DTC59ES Operating Instructions Manual page 31

If you record from the beginning to the middle of a tape
on which another recording has ever been applied, the
same program number may be written twice on that tape.
If you omit designating the next program number when
recording from the middle of the tape, the succeeding
program numbers are not written.
In such cases, proceed as follows to renumber the program
numbers from the beginning of the tape at a high speed.
Renumbering Program Numbers Automatically
1 Make sure that the AUTO indicator is lit, and that
the safety tab of the cassette is at the record-
possible position.
If the AUTO indicator is not lit, press the START ID
AUTO button.
2 Press the RENUMBER button during playback or in
the stop mode.
The tape will automatically be rewound to the
beginning, and the program numbers are re-arranged
from "1" in numerical order at each start ID position.
While the program numbers are rewritten, the
[START ID Jindicator flashes and while the tape is fast-
forwarded to the next start ID, the AUTO RENUMBER
indicator flashes.
When program numbers are written correctly, the tape
is fast-forwarded to the next start ID.

Shifting Start IDs' and Program Numbers Position
The start ID position may not coincide exactly to the
beginning of the selection, especially when the portion
between selections is not clear. On such a tape, the very
beginning of the selection cannot be located using the AMS
function. If this happens, you can shift the start ID and
program number position, however, you cannot shift the
position of the program number 1.
1 Make sure that the AUTO indicator is off, and that
the safety tab of the cassette is at the record-
possible position.
If the AUTO indicator is lit, press the START ID AUTO
button.
2 Press the RENUMBER button during playback or
in the stop mode.
The start ID and program number position of the 2nd
selection, and the succeeding selections, will be
shifted forward by about 0.3 of a second.
When program numbers are written incorrectly, the
renumber function operates.
