End Id Signals - Yamaha DTR2 Owner's Manual

Notes on writing start ID signals
If a start ID signal is written on a point where a skip ID
signal has been written, the skip ID signal is erased.
An end ID signal indicates the end of a recording. The tape
does not advance beyond the point where this signal is
written. Therefore, it is easy to continue a recording from
20
The interval between start ID signals (playing time of a
tune) should be 9 seconds or more. This 9-second
interval is necessary to ensure proper operation of the
APSS function, APMS function and renumbering tunes.
To erase start ID signals
If a start ID signal is written on a undesirable point, you can
erase it during playback. Be sure to renumber the tunes
after erasing a start ID signal.
Press the START ID ERASE button (the button flashes)
when the ST-ID indicator appears on the display.
The tape rewinds to the beginning of the tune being played
and the start ID signal is erased. While erasing, the ST-ID
indicator flashes. Playback resumes after the start ID
signal is erased.
If a tune number is also written with the start ID, both
signals will be erased at the same time.
To renumber tune numbers
When start ID signals are inserted or erased, tune numbers
are displaced. Renumber the tune numbers following this
procedure.
Press the RENUMBER button in stop mode.
The tape is rewound to the beginning of the tape, and the
tune numbers are automatically renumbered at high speed.
Whenever the unit encounters a start ID signal, the proper
tune number is written starting from P-NO 1.
When renumbering is completed at the end of the tape,
the tape automatically rewinds to the beginning.

END ID SIGNALS

the end of a previous recording. Also, this will avoid making
a blank section between recordings.
To write an end ID signal
During recording, press the END ID WRITE button.
A sound muted section is automatically inserted and the
end ID signal is written. While the end ID signal is being
written, the END-ID indicator flashes and then the tape
automatically stops.
When the unit encounters an end ID during playback,
fast-forwarding or cueing, the tune number changes to
"EE", and the tape stops automatically.
Do not write an end ID signal if the interval between
start ID signals is shorter than 9 seconds. APSS and
renumbering functions may not be carried out properly.
