4.5 Locator Operation
The MX-5050 Series tape recorders feature a built-in Auto Locator which has
three cue point memories, a zero location memory, and the ability to repeat
play between any two selected tape locations.
4.5.1 Storing Tape Locations
There are two ways to store tape locations into the locator memory: The tape
locations can be captured "on the fly", or can be entered in SET mode.
❏ Capturing Tape Locations
Pressing an unilluminated SEARCH key while reproducing the tape causes
that tape location to be stored in the cue point memory of that SEARCH key.
The LED of the key illuminates to indicate that a CUE point has been stored.
To clear the CUE point, press the CLR button and the corresponding SEARCH
key.
❏ Cue Point Set Mode
In SET mode, the desired tape location can be displayed on the display by
using the SEARCH ZERO, SEARCH 1/2/3, REPEAT and CLR keys, and can be
stored in the SEARCH CUE points.
1. To enter the machine into the SET mode, press the SET key. The indicator on
the SET key illuminates and the decimal points on the display start to blink.
2. After placing the machine into the SET mode, enter the desired tape time with
the following keys.
KEY CHANGING ITEM CHANGE
SEARCH ZERO: 10 Hour 0,1,2,-
SEARCH1: 1 Hour 0-9
SEARCH2: 10 Minute 0-5
SEARCH3: 1 Minute 0-9
REPEAT: 10 Seconds 0-5
CLR: 1 Second 0-9
3. After the desired tape time is indicated on the display, press the SEARCH key
while pressing the SET key to store the tape location on the display as a CUE
point.
4. To exit from the SET mode, press the CLR key while pressing the SET key.
4.5.2 Search Mode
To enter Search mode, press any illuminated SEARCH 1/2/3 button. In this
mode, the machine will move the tape at Fast Wind speed to the Cue Point
and stop. During Search mode, the tape location will be shown on the display
briefly, and the button indicator will flash.
