Indexing
2) Manual recording
In this method, Start ID’s can be recorded on the tape at any desired position. Check that the pno/start ID auto
indicator is not illuminated. If it is illuminated, press the PNO/START ID AUTO button to cancel.
1 Press the START ID button. The start ID indicator flashes.
2 While listening to the playback sound on the tape, advance or rewind the tape using the SHUTTLE SEARCH
dial. Then, at the point where you want to insert a Start ID, press the ID WRITE button.
The start ID indicator illuminates for about 9 seconds and then goes out. A Start ID (approx. 9 sec.) will be
recorded at the point where the button was pressed. Then the unit is ready for inserting the next Start ID.
3 Repeat steps 1-2 to insert Start ID’s one after another wherever desired.
Note: Do not press the STOP button when the start ID indicator is illuminated (approx. 9 sec.) in both Automatic/
Manual Recording. If the STOP button is pressed, the Start ID will not be recorded long enough to be
detected upon playback.
Start ID‘s may be recorded in either Play or Pause mode. In Play mode, they are written by simply listening for
the desired location. In Pause mode, more accurate cueing is possible, as the Start ID may be written at a precise
location by using Absolute Time as a reference.
Shuttle search
This function allows you to search rapidly forward or backward on the tape for specific sections with a high
degree of accuracy while listening to the material recorded on the tape. (Refer to page E-12.)
Erasing Recorded Start ID’s
1 Press the START ID button. The start ID indicator flashes.
2 Turn the SHUTTLE SEARCH dial to run the tape to the point where you want to erase a start ID.
When the tape reaches the position at which a Start ID was recorded, the start ID indicator illuminates to show
the presence of a Start ID.
3 Press the ID ERASE button. The erase indicator illuminates.
The tape is then rewound to find the Start ID and erasure begins just before the beginning of the Start ID.
(During this time, the erase indicator illuminates, and the start ID indicator flashes.) After erasure, both
indicators go out.
4 Repeat steps 1-3 to erase subsequent ID’s, if necessary.
Hint: If you wish to erase all Start ID‘s on a tape, it is best to start at the end of the tape. By default, the unit
searches for ID‘s in reverse direction during ID Erase mode.
Assigning Sequence Numbers to Recorded Start ID’s
After recording or erasing of Start ID’s and confirmation that all Start ID’s are in the correct location, press the
RENUMBER button. The tape will rewind to the beginning, the unit searches for the recorded Start ID’s, and
automatically assigns program numbers to them in sequence starting from 01. When the tape reaches the end,
the renumber function is complete, and the tape is rewound to the beginning again. While the tape is running,
the play indicator flashes. Each time the tape comes to a position where a Start ID has been recorded, the start
ID indicator illuminates.
