Recording Absolute Time with the Index Function (Retime Function)
_ Note:
Even on tapes where absolute time has not been recorded, it can be recorded while indexing is being carried out.
Enter the auto mode. The pno/start ID auto indicator will illuminate.

Press the REW/REV button to rewind the tape to the beginning. Confirm that the display shows “0:00:00”.

Start ID’s will be recorded on the tape automatically, together with absolute time. Audio recorded on the tape
remains unaffected.
If program numbers, Start ID’s, Skip ID’s and End mark have been recorded in any part of the tape, they are all
erased during a new recording.
After the absolute time is recorded up to the end of the tape or recorded part, the unit enters stop mode.
If there is a blank, unrecorded part at the start of the tape, it is necessary to run the tape in recording mode
up to the point which is already previously recorded. Otherwise, Absolute Time will not be recorded.
Recording and Erasing a Skip ID
Note:
Skip ID causes the unit to go into fast-forward mode until the next Start ID is reached, in order to skip unwanted
material. Skip ID’s can be recorded to automatically skip over parts of the tape you do not wish to hear (auto skip
play function).
Skip ID’s can only be recorded manually.
The procedure to record and erase a Skip ID is the same as one for a Start ID, except for the following steps:
To enter the Skip ID recording or erasing mode, press the SKIP ID button, instead of the START ID button. The
skip ID indicator flashes.
When the ID WRITE button is pressed to record a Skip ID, the skip ID indicator will illuminate for about one _
second.
Canceling the auto skip play function
When Skip Play Cancel is turned on, Skip ID‘s are ignored. When a Skip ID is encountered in this mode, the skip
ID indicator lights, but tape play continues uninterrupted.
The auto skip play mode is set ON when the power is turned on if it was on when the power was last turned off
and it is set OFF if it was off when the power was last turned off. Hence, if you want to cancel the auto skip play
function, press the SKIP PLAY CANCEL button to enter the auto skip cancel mode. The skip play cancel indicator
will illuminate.
