When you go to a location point, the tape will
now locate to the location point, minus the
value you have just entered. For instance, if the
location point is at
00:12:04:03
and
you have set a location pre-roll time of 5 sec-
onds, the tape will locate to
00 11 59 03

the location pre-roll time, as described above.

“soft” function keys can be assigned to locate to
memorized positions.
7.2.1
Storing a function key location
memory
In addition to the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 memories,
the function keys can store location memories.
The function keys must be in “location memory”
mode (4.2.1, “Function key modes”, set in menu
group 7).
The tape transport can be in any function (play,
record, stop, shuttle) when you store a memory and
assign it to a function key.

location memory points. If you are recording a
song, for example, you could run the tape from
the beginning of the song and use the function
key memories to mark the beginning of verses,
choruses, instrumental breaks, etc. In post-
production work, you could use this feature to
mark important points in the video
soundtrack.
