•
R E M A I N
—the total time remaining on the disc for
further recording (the length of the blank portion of
the disc)
•
TOTA L
—the total elapsed time from the start of the
disc
•
TOTA L R E M A I N
—the total time remaining on the
disc for further recording (the same as
R E M A I N
)
If the
MEMO IN/CAPS
indicator
[23]
is lit, the unit
is in play or play ready mode, and the
TIME
key is
pressed, the lower (alphanumeric dot-matrix) part of
the display may be used to give timing information.
This is represented as follows:
•
elp
—the time elapsed from the start of the cur-
rent track
•
rem
—the playback time remaining in the current
track
•
tel
—the total elapsed time from the start of the
disc
•
tre
—the total time remaining on the disc
•
rel
—the time relative to a user-settable “zero
point” (see 4.2.8, "Relative time display")
When the unit is in record or record ready mode, and
the
MEMO IN/CAP
indicator
[23]
is lit, and the
TIME
key is pressed, the lower (alphanumeric dot-
matrix) part of the display may be used to give tim-
ing information. This is representated as follows:
•
elp
—the time elapsed from the start of the track
currently being recorded
•
rem
—the total time remaining on the disc for
further recording (the length of the blank portion of
the disc)
•
tel
—the total elapsed time from the start of the
disc
•
tre
—the total time remaining on the disc for
further recording (the same as
rem
)
•
rel
—the time relative to a user-settable “zero
point” (see 4.2.8, "Relative time display")
It is therefore possible to have two separate time indi-
cators shown simultaneously. Note that if both the
upper and lower parts of the display are set to the
same time indication, there may be occasions where
the two values shown do not always match exactly.
To turn off the time display in the lower part of the
display, press the
TIME
key until the disc or track
title is shown, rather than the time display.
In the play and play ready, as well as the record and
record ready modes, the
TIME
key can also be used
to display the following:
•
aay bbm ccd
—where
aa
is the year,
bb
is the month, and
cc
is the day of the date
according to the MD-801’s internal clock.
•
eeh ffm ggs
—where
ee
is the hour (in
24-hour format),
ff
the minutes and
gg
the sec-
onds of the time of day according to the MD-801’s
internal clock.
If the internal clock needs to be adjusted, follow the
procedure described in 4.2.18, "Setting the time and
date".
[18] EDIT key
The
EDIT
key is used to access various data and disc
editing modes, as detailed below.
When the
EDIT
key is pressed, the
JOG/DATA
dial
[12]
is used to cycle through the various editing
options as detailed below.
When an editing mode is shown, followed by a ques-
tion mark, turning the
SHUTTLE
wheel
[13]
clock-
wise will enter that editing mode.
To exit the editing mode, the
SHUTTLE
wheel can
be turned counterclockwise, the
EDIT
key can be
pressed once again, or the
STOP

[5]
can be
pressed.
