Recording

IMPORTANT

NOTE:

Before

Recording

Be

sure

to

observe

the

following

precautions

when

recording

onto

a

tape.

Make

sure

the

accidental

erasure

prevention

tab

on

the

DAT

tape

is

set

to

the

recording

position

so

that

recording

can

be

performed

(see

page

E-39).

Insert

the

cassette

tape

after

the

power

is

switched

on.

When

the

power

is

switched

on

with

a

cassette

tape

in

the

unit,

absolute

time

is

not

displayed

on

the

counter

display.

To

make

sure

that

all

recordings

contain

absolute

time

information,

first

operate

the

PLAY

button,

perform

an

end

search

(see

page

E-21),

or

rewind

tape

to

the

beginning.

Then,

carry

out

normal

recording

operations.

Even

with

new

blank

tapes,

the

tape

may

need

to

be

rewound

or

End

Search

Performed.

The

Absolute

Time

display

must

show

“0:00:00”,

which

indicates

that

the

machine

recognizes

the

beginning

of

a

tape.

Absolute

time

will

not

be

recorded

if

this

display

is

not

present.

To

advance

the

tape

during

recording,

use

the

AUTO

REC

MUTE

button

without

using

the

PLAY

button

or

the

FF/CUE

button.

When

recording

from

a

point

mid-way

along

the

tape,

use

the

end

search

function

to

search

for

the

end

of

the

last

recorded

passage,

and

perform

pick-up

recording

to

ensure

that

there

will

no

section

without

absolute

time

informations

(see

page

E-21).

An

absolute

Time

indication

must

be

present

on

the

display

in

order

for

the

machine

to

record

absolute

time

from

that

point

on.

If

the

machine

does

not

recognize

its

present

position,

whether

it

is

“0:00:00”

or

any

other

time,

Absolute

Time

will

not

record.

Audio

recording,

however,

is

unaffected.

Soundless

recording

and

non-recording:

During

soundless

recording,

the

tape

travels

in

a

recording

state

and

only

the

data

necessary

for

recording

digital

signals

are

recorded.

In

this

state,

no

audio

signals

are

recorded.

As

opposed

to

this,

during

non-recording,

the

tape

travels

in

a

state

other

than

the

recording

state,

and

neither

the

audio

signals

nor

the

data

necessary

for

recording

are

recorded.

(This

is

the

same

condition

as

that

of

a

brand

new

tape.)

If

such

a

non-recorded

section

exists

in

the

middle

of

a

recorded

tape,

important

information

such

as

absolute

time

will

not

be

recorded.

Recording

Program

During

Recording

There

are

two

ways

of

recording

numbers

as

follows:

1)

Press

the

applying

when

the

is

retained

when

operation.

When

has

started,

program

numbers

are

recorded

automatically

in

order

(segment

01,

02,

as

long

as

a

program

begins

after

there

has

been

at

least

2

seconds

of

are

indicated

on

the

once

they

are

Before

Recording

IMPORTANT

NOTE:

As

with

absolute

time,

the

machine

must

recognize

the

current

program

number

(PNO)

in

order

to

record

the

number.

If

there

is

no

PNO

showing

on

the

display,

then

only

Start

ID‘s

are

recorded,

without

PNO’‘s.

This

can

occur,

for

example,

if

the

tape

is

inserted

into

the

machine

in

the

middle

of

a

segment,

because

Start

ID’s

and

PNO’‘s

are

recorded

only

for

the

first

9

seconds

of

a

program.

To

set

Recording

commences,

and

when

the

is

recorded,

the

programs

are

recorded

starting

with

the

which

was

set.

¢

If

the

exceeds

selected

detection

after

it

has

fallen

below

selected

for

more

than

two

seconds,

the

automatically.

e

When

making

a

Even

in

these

however,

if

your

corresponds

to

either

+4

selectors.

This

is

compatible

with

most

professional

However,

in

practical

digital

application,

it

is

often

desired

to

record

at
