3. Press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate “AdjstLoad...” for a short time. Then the display will change to
“ADJST 0
” and the track will play back for approximately 1.5 seconds before and after the
point you selected in step 1. At this time, there will be a volume difference between the first 1.5
seconds and the last 1.5 seconds, so that you can hear exactly where the marker occurs.
4. Press the PLAY button, and while listening to playback 1.5 seconds before and
after the marker, rotate the DATA dial to adjust the location of the marker in
single-frame units (11.6 ms).
When you rotate the DATA dial to move the marker backward or forward, the display will
indicate “ADJST XXX
” (XXX is the number of frames that the marker was moved.)
5. As necessary, rotate the CURSOR shuttle to invert the high/low volume
change.
By rotating the CURSOR shuttle to left or right you can invert the high/low volume change
that occurs between the first 1.5 seconds and the last 1.5 seconds. If the display indicates
,
the first 1.5 seconds will be played at a lower volume. if the display indicates
, the last 1.5
seconds will be played at a lower volume.
6. When you have finished making adjustments, press the ENTER button.
The new location will be finalized, and the MD4S will locate to that spot. The display will
return to the state in which it was before you press the ADJUST button in step 2.
7. Press the ADJUST button once again to return to normal operation.
8. Press the TOC WRITE button to update the TOC.
Tip: 1.5 seconds before and after the marker will also playback immediately after you rotate
the CURSOR shuttle. If you keep inverting the volume difference while you listen, it will be
easier to make accurate adjustments to the position.
Note: The frames with which we are dealing here are 11.6 ms units. Do not confuse them
with MTC frames. If MTC frames are displayed in the time display, the adjusted location may
not be reflected by the time counter.
