The EX-800 will now produce a “level setting” test tone
at the TO TAPE jack (a medium pitched “ooo” sound).
Using this tone, adjust the Record Level (Volume) set
ting on the tape recorder so that it is about 30 per cent
lower than the level at which the signal distorts.
• If the recorder has VU tape meters, adjust the record
level control to obtain a reading around -5dB.

When the recording level adjustment is completed,
release the PAUSE button to begin recording. (You may
want to record a short verbal message describing the
program contents before you begin recording the actu
al data.)

After about 14 seconds, the DISPLAY will change from
SAVE to TAPE, and you should stop the tape recorder
(if you’re done making “safety” copies). All data has
now been recorded on the tape.
• To guard against accidental loss of your data, it’s a
good idea to repeat Step 6 several times to make
“safety” copies of your data. Leave a five-second gap
between recording so that you can find the beginning
of each recording easily.
Return the rear panel TAPE ENABLE/DISABLE switch
to the DISABLE position.

If you listen to a tape of recorded data, you will hear the fol
lowing tones;
Level set tone (lower-pitched “ooo”)
Leader tone (high-pitched “eee”)
Data tone (medium-pitched “aaa”)
End tone (high-pitched “eee”)
Level set tone (lower-pitched “ooo”)
Leader tone indicates the beginning of the SAVE
operation.

Programmer and Sequencer.
End tone indicates end of the SAVE operation.
7.3 VERIFY
The VERIFY procedure should always be used after SAVE
to make sure that the Program and Sequencer data has been
recorded properly. It is also useful for determining the best
playback level to use with your tape recorder.
1. Connect EX-800 rear panel FROM TAPE jack to the tape
recorder output jack (EARPHONE or LINE OUT). Set
FROM TAPE switch to HIGH (earphone) or LOW (line
