able to check the location of the tape and to search for a
desired track), it is required to record the absolute time
continuously. If the cassette contains an incorrect recorded

absolute time is not known) it is not possible to record the
absolute time after that position.
In order to avoid incorrect areas, make sure to perform
following steps when recording on a specific location on the
tape.
The DCC 170 can not record the digital input when you are
using the rechargeable battery.
