Blank sections and sound muted sections
With conventional analog audio tapes, the sections on
which no recording has ever been made (blank section
created with fast-forwarding, etc.) and the sections on
which a recording has been made but the sound is muted
(sound muted section created with the record muting
function) are treated the same, and they are used to search
for tunes, since no sound can be heard from these sections.
Conversely, the DAT deck distinguishes between blank
sections and sound muted sections. If blank sections
remain on the tape, search operation using the APSS
function may take quite a long time and search operation
using absolute time may not be carried out properly.
Therefore, when recording, be sure that no blank sections
are left on the tape.
In addition, since no-sound sections between tunes must be
recorded on analog audio tapes for tune search operation,
recording no-sound sections (sound muted sections)
between tunes is recommended considering dubbing from
DAT cassettes to analog audio tapes.
To insert silence between tunes, press the REC MUTE
button during recording. A sound muted section will be
created as long as the button is kept pressed. It is
recommended to create a sound muted section of
about 4 seconds for dubbing onto an analog audio tape
later on. Do not create a blank section by advancing
the tape with the FF button
To start recording from the middle of the tape, use the
end search function (page 20) to locate the end of the
previous recording. This will avoid leaving a blank
section.
