Press
PLAY
to preview the location of the ID point.
The tape will rewind to the position, with the offset
added or subtracted, and start playing back from the
previewed ID position. While playing back, the word
Posit
will be shown on the display. When play-
back stops after a few seconds, the offset value will
replace the word
Posit
, and may be re-adjusted
as described above.
Repeat the adjustment of the ID point and the pre-
view of the point as many times as necessary.
Use the
ID SELECT
key to choose either a START
ID or a SKIP ID to write at the selected position, if
the display does not already show the desired ID
type.
When the ID point has been located satisfactorily,
press
ENTER . The display will show
WR-ST
or
WR-SK
, depending on whether a START or SKIP
ID is being written.
The edited point can also be used here as a location
memory (use the
MEMO 1 or MEMO 2 key).
The writing of the ID can be canceled at any time
after
POSITION
has been pressed by pressing
STOP .
4.4.4 Writing an END ID
Writing an END ID will stop the tape. If an END ID
is written in the middle of recorded material, the
material following the END ID will be inaccessible
until the END ID is erased.
An END ID can be written from the record, or the
record pause mode.
Select the
END WRT
option as described in 4.4.1,
"Selecting an ID mode".
Press ENTER . The END ID will be written at the
point that ENTER is pressed.
4.4.5 Erasing a START or SKIP ID
Select the START ERASE or SKIP ERASE option
as described in 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode".
Locate the tape to a little after the START or SKIP
ID to be erased.
Press ENTER . The tape will move backwards to find
the first appropriate ID, and
ER-ST
or
ER-SK
as appropriate is shown in the display.
When the ID has been located, the
START ERASE
or SKIP ERASE shown in the display will start
flashing, and the
RECORD
and
PLAY
indicators
will light.
After the ID has been erased, the deck will continue
playing the tape.
NOTE
If a START ID is erased, the program num-
bers will not be continuous. The renumbering
function may be used to restore the
sequence.
4.4.6 Erasing an END ID
Select
END ERASE
as the ID mode (see 4.4.1,
"Selecting an ID mode").
Move the tape to a little after the END ID, and press
ENTER .
The tape will move back to the END ID and will
erase it (the
RECORD and PLAY indicators will
both light). While the ID is being erased, the words
END ERASE will flash in the display.
4.4.7 Erasing titles
If characters have been recorded on tape, the boxed
word
CHAR
will appear on the bottom of the display
(below the seconds digits).
To erase the characters which have been previously
recorded as program titles, select
CHAR ERASE as
the ID mode (see 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode").
Move the tape to a little after the end of the START
ID containing the characters to be erased,
Press ENTER ; the display will show
ER-CH
, and
the tape will start moving back until the START ID
containing the characters is located on tape. The
character information will then be erased (the
RECORD
and
PLAY
indicators will both light), but
the START ID containing the title characters and the
audio information will be retained. While the erase
operation is taking place, the words
CHAR ERASE
will flash in the display.
4.4.8 Renumbering START IDs
If START IDs have been written to a tape after audio
recording has taken place, or if START IDs have
been removed from a sequence, the program num-
bers will not form a continuous series.
To renumber the programs, select RENUM as the ID
mode.
The right side of the display will show
#01
(flash-
ing), showing that the first START ID will be renum-
bered as 01.
