5.12 LINE/SYNC/REPRO
The LINE OUT signal from each PLAYBACK AMPLIFIER may be selected by
one of the three following controls: LINE, SYNC and REPRO. This does
not affect the recording on this track.
Pressing the LINE button selects the LINE INPUT signal of that channel
and routes it to the output.
Pressing the SYNC button selects the signal from the record head of
that channel, used as a playback head.
Pressing the REPRO button for that channel selects the signal from the
normal playback head.
There are also three master buttons for LINE, SYNC and REPRO which
will throw all the channels to that particular function.
The only exception to these selections occurs when a given channel is
selected to SYNC and it is also placed in the RECORD MODE. In this
situation the channel is automatically switched to LINE, returning to
SYNC when the RECORD MODE is cancelled.
5.13
SOLO/DEFEAT
When the SOLO button of a channel is pressed it causes all the other
channels to switch to LINE. (This can be changed on special order so
that the other channels mute instead of switching to LINE.) Any amount
of channels may be soloed simultaneously. In order to return them to
their normal situation the DEFEAT button is pressed.
5.14
TAPE TIMER
The TAPE TIMER receives information from the tape motion sensor on the
tape deck, and shows elapsed time in minutes and seconds relative to
15 ips. By means of the RESET button on the left, it may be reset to
00.00 at any point desired by the operator. In order to avoid
accidental resets this button has a protective cover.
5.15
SEARCH FUNCTION
The SEARCH FUNCTION comprises two controls, an illuminated SEARCH
button and a PRESET DIAL. When the SEARCH button is pressed the TAPE
DECK goes into the WIND MODE and automatically winds the tape in such
a way as to make the timer display equal to the display on the PRESET
DIAL. A built-in feature of this function ensures that the tape will
not overshoot since the wind speed is progressively lowered as soon as
the difference between the two displays drops below a preset amount.
