4.5.4 Search Zero Mode
To enter Search Zero mode, press the SEARCH ZERO key. The tape will move at Fast
Wind speed to the location corresponding to 0:00:00 on the Tape Time display and stop.
During the Search the indicator in the SEARCH ZERO key will flash.
4.5.5 Search Start Mode
When SW2-1 on the CONTROL PCB Assembly is in the On position and SW2-2 is in the
Off position, the Search Start function is assigned to the SEARCH 3 key.
In this mode, whenever the PLAY button is pressed, that location is stored in Cue Point
memory 3. Pressing the SEARCH 3 key moves the tape to the point where the PLAY
button was last pressed.
4.5.6 Repeat Mode
The Tape Timer has a Repeat function which repeatedly plays back the tape between two
selected points. When the tape reaches the end of the repeat loop, the machine rewinds to
the beginning of the loop and starts playing back again.
To enter a Repeat Loop…
1. Press the REPEAT key. (The LED on the key starts flashing.)
2. Press two SEARCH keys which have stored Cue points. (The REPEAT key
illuminates steadily. The SEARCH keys start to flash.)
3. If the tape is stopped between the two Cue points, pressing the PLAY button
starts Repeat mode. If the tape is stopped outside of the Repeat Loop, the
machine automatically enters Fast Forward or Rewind mode and moves to
the beginning of the Repeat Loop and stops.
4. To exit from the Repeat mode, press the REPEAT key while pressing the CLR
key.
NOTE: In Repeat mode, the PLAY, RECORD, STOP, RWD, F.FWD and
REHEARSE buttons still function. The beginning and end points are used as Guard
points beyond which the tape cannot go.
Pressing the REPEAT key again while in Repeat mode causes the
REPEAT key indicator to flash, and new Cue points can be selected for the
beginning and ending points of the Repeat Loop.
4.6 Test Oscillator
The MX-5050 includes a two-frequency Test Oscillator for use when recording reference
tones for level matching or alignment purposes.
1. Press the desired Oscillator Frequency button (1 kHz or 10 kHz) to activate
the internal Test Oscillator.
2. The test signal output from the oscillator is supplied to all channel inputs
simultaneously. The signal input level can be adjusted by using the input level
knob.
