It is imperative that the clock to which the digital audio machine is
currently referenced is the same as when its tape was striped with time
code.
Recording Time Code on Other Audio Tape Recorders
Using the time code generator inside the DABK-801 allows you to
record time code on other audio tape recorders.
Recording time code both on the PCM-800 and an analog tape recorder at one time
If your analog tape recorder provides no sync (time code) track,
allocate one track on that machine to the time code (usually this is put
on the bottom track).
¢ Noise reduction should be turned off on the track to record time
code.
¢ To achieve optimum recording quality, the tape path must be
thoroughly clean. Dirty heads can cause dropouts.
On the part of the analog tape recorder
1 First, connect the DABK-801’s TIME CODE OUT signals to the
input of the sync track of your analog tape recorder before turning
on both machines.
2 If your analog tape recorder has a variable speed function, check
to see that it is not activated. Time code should be recorded at
fixed speed.
3 Rewind the analog tape to the beginning.
