• Block Error Rate mode— the last digits of the 

display show 

E----

 when out of play mode. 

When playback starts, the error rate for either the A 
or B track is displayed. The A or B track is selected 
using the 

MENU

 key while the error rate display 

mode is active.

• If titles have been recorded on the tape (see 4.8, 

"Character editing (titling)"), 

CHAR

 is shown on 

the display, and the characters comprising the title 
are shown on the display (here, the word “TAS-

CAM” is used as the title):

[24] SKIP PLAY

When skip mode is active, 

SKIP PLAY

 is shown on 

the display. Skip mode means at that when a SKIP ID 
is encountered on tape, the tape will fast forward 
until the next START ID is encountered.

[25] AUTO ID

When AUTO ID mode is active, 

AUTO ID

 is shown 

on the display (see 4.4, "ID markers (START, SKIP, 
END, CHAR and renumbering)" if you are unsure 
about ID marker types). This means that when 
recording, a START ID will automatically be written 
when a “trigger level” signal is detected after a 
period of silence.

The number of the new START ID is one greater than 
the last ID successfully read from tape. However, the 
automatic numbering of IDs will be out of sequence 
if a START ID is added between existing IDs, or if an 
ID is written before a valid previously-recorded 
START ID has been read from tape. Use the renum-
ber function to restore the sequence. See 4.4, "ID 
markers (START, SKIP, END, CHAR and renumber-
ing)".

The level which will trigger the automatic writing of 
a START ID, and the length of the silence to precede 
it may be set from the menu items (see 3.2, "Auto ID 
level" and 3.3, "Auto ID time").

When you use the AUTO ID key to turn on the auto 
ID mode, these values (the level and time) will be 
shown for one second on the display. For example, 
the display may show 

AT-ID 48/2.0

meaning that the trigger level is set to –48 dB and the 
length of the preceding silence is set to 2.0 seconds.

[26] ENTER

This key is used to confirm entries made in the menu 
and EDIT settings.

It is also used, when in EDIT mode (see 4, "SHIFT 
functions"), to enter the EDIT functions).

When recording subcode (START, SKIP, END IDs 
and CHAR title information), it is used to start the 
writing of this information to tape.

[27] MENU

Repeated presses of this key (when the display is not 
in Block Error mode) cycle through the different 
options available in the menu. These options are 
explained in detail in 3, "Menu functions".

[28] LOC 1

Pressing this key will locate the tape to the first mem-
ory location (set with this key in shifted mode). If the 
tape is playing when this key is pressed, the tape will 
resume playing when the location is reached, other-
wise it will stop.

When the key is pressed, the value stored in the first 
location memory will flash on the right side of the 
display (frames, program numbers and margin will 
disappear while the tape is locating, and be restored 
once location is complete).

If a pre-roll time has been set in the menu, pressing 
this key will locate to the memory location minus the 
pre-roll time.

When search or locate is entered from the tape 
stopped or in play pause mode, and the 

PLAY

 key is 

pressed while the search or locate operation is taking 
place, deferred playback will occur when the location 
point is reached. However, if the 

PLAY

 key is 

pressed when the tape is close to its final operation, 
you should note that there may be a problem with the 
deferred playback.

[29] LOC 2

This key functions in exactly the same way as

LOC 1 

[28]

 above, except that the second location memory 

is used rather than the first.

[30] SINGLE PLAY

The single play mode, when active, will play only 
one program , i.e. when the next START ID is 
encountered, playback will stop. When single play 
mode is active, the display will show 

SINGLE
