Two locating points (MEMO 1 and MEMO 2) can be established on a given tape.
To set MEMO points :
Press MEMO (1 or 2) at the desired point during Play, or during Stop if the tape is
at the point you want to specify as a locating point.
To check MEMO points :
Press the DISPLAY switch (when the tape stops or is running) until the MEMO 1
(or 2) LED lights. The display is now showing the location stored into the
corresponding register.
To fine tune MEMO points :
When the MEMO point you want to fine tune is showing in the display, press A
to increment the numbers shown, or press T to decrement them.
To speed up the tuning, you can hold down either A or ▼ and press DISPLAY.
Each time you press DISPLAY, the next upper (left) two digits will fast
increment.
To clear MEMO points :
Hold either A or ▼ and press the other. The locating point currently shown in the
display is erased from memory, as confirmed by "00:00:00:00" appearing instead.
To autolocate the tape to MEMO points :
Press LOC 1 to locate the tape to the MEMO 1 point. Press LOC 2 to locate the
tape to the MEMO 2 point.
At the end of locating functions the tape will stop unless AUTO PLAY is
previously pressed.
EF The LOC keys cannot operate during rewind , punch-in!out process, or when
two or more DA-88s are hooked up and the slaves are chasing the master.

The MEMO 1 point should not be lower than the MEMO 2 point. The DA-88
understands the lower MEMO point as the start point of loop, and the higher
point, as the end.
NOTE
There must be at least 5 seconds between the two MEMO points.
To interrupt momentarily repeat play, press STOP. Press PLAY to resume play.
To exit repeat mode, press REPEAT.
o If only either MEMO 1 or MEMO 2 point is established, the tape will repeat
between that MEMO point and the counter zero point.
