Start Id Signals And Tune Numbers - Yamaha DTR2 Owner's Manual

START ID SIGNALS AND TUNE NUMBERS

The actual number of a recorded tune on a tape and the
tune number displayed on the unit may not be the same,
even if the tune numbers are written automatically with the
START ID AUTO WRITE function. This may occur due to the
contents of the recorded tune.
The tune numbers may not be recorded properly when
recording from sources that contain the following:
Conversations with breaks in them.
Low overall recording level.
Short intervals (i. e., 2 seconds or less) between tunes.
Long quiet pianissimo passages.
Noise or hum between tunes.
If the tune numbers are not written properly, it may be
necessary to add or erase the tune numbers.
When recording is performed from sources without silence
between tunes, it is recommended to write the tune
numbers manually during recording or after recording.
To write tune numbers manually during
recording
Press the START ID WRITE button (the button lights) at
the beginning of each tune.
Every time the START ID WRITE button is pressed, the start
ID signal is written and the tune number is switched to next
number. While the start ID signal is written, the ST-ID
indicator flashes.
Manually writing the tune numbers is possible
regardless of the setting of the START ID AUTO WRITE
button.
Up to 99 tune numbers can be written. If a tape which
contains more than 99 tunes is played, the tune number
is not displayed after the 100th tune.
To write start ID signals manually during
playback
A start ID signal indicates the beginning of a tune. If this
signal and corresponding tune number are not written, tune
selection by APSS, APMS and direct selection is
impossible.
If start ID signals and tune numbers are not written properly
on a tape, insert start ID signals according to the following
procedure, and then renumber them (page 20).
1 During playback, press the START ID WRITE button
(the button starts flashing) at the point where the
start ID signal is to be inserted.
The tape is played back for 3 seconds and then
rewound to a point 2 seconds before the START ID
WRITE button was pressed. Playback starts from this
point for 5 seconds and repeats 10 times (Test
playback). Since the ST-ID indicator lights when the
tape encounters the start-ID signal, the placement of
the start ID signal can be verified. Check the position
of the start ID signal while listening to the test playback.
2 If the start ID signal is not correctly inserted at the
beginning of the tune, move it backward or forward
with the REW or FF
Each time the REW button
signal moves backward 0.3 seconds. Each time the FF
button is pressed, the start ID signal moves
forward 0.3 seconds.
3 When the start ID signal is correctly inserted, press
the START ID WRITE button again during test
playback.
The button lights and the tape is rewound to the
beginning of the tune, and the start ID signal is written.

resumes after the start ID) signal is written.
