Teac V-8000S - Recording Functions and Program Search; Record Muting and Blank Insertion Techniques; Computomatic Program Search (CPS)

a
Record Muting Operation
The ability to leave blank unrecorded
(erased) sections on a tape during recording
is a real advantage in many recording situ-
ations. For instance, you may want to
eliminate undesired portions of an FM
broadcast that you are recording, such as
commercials, station breaks or announce-
ments. You may also want to record a com-
plete program with controlled spacing
between tunes. Such blank sections can
easily be left using the REC MUTE func-
tion,
=
=
(The V-8000S will restart.)
e Automatic Spacing Operation — for a
4-second blank — (during recording)
Press the REC MUTE button during
recording, The tape continues to run, and
a blank of about 4 seconds is left (the
REC indicator flashes).
After 4 seconds, the deck automatically
switches to the record-pause mode (both
the REC and PAUSE indicators light).
To start recording the next tune, press the
» or M™ button (the PAUSE indicator
goes off).
For a Blank of More Than 4 Seconds
During recording, keep the REC MUTE
button pressed for a longer blank section.
Release the button to enter the record-
pause mode.
© For a Blank of Less Than 4 Seconds
After pressing the REC MUTE button
during recording, press the REC MUTE
or PAUSE button before the 4-second
interval has expired, to cancel the muting
mode and engage the record-pause mode.
To restart recording press the Mor >
button.
CPS (Computomatic Program Search) Function
CPS allows the selection and playback
of any tune up to 15 tunes ahead or before
the one being played. This function operates
by detecting blank spaces of at least 4
seconds between tunes. These blanks can
be created using the REC MUTE facility.
1. Press the 4 or »>1 button repeated-
ly until the number of tunes to be
skipped appears in the multi-display
counter. Refer to the chart “How to
Select any Required Tune Using CPS",
elf you count past the required number,
keep on pressing the CPS button as 1
appears after 15 is indicated.
When the >> button is pressed, the
next tune is counted as “1” and when the
< button is pressed, the current tune
is counted as "1",
2. As the tape is fast-forwarded or rewound
and blank spaces between tunes are
detected, the displayed number will
be
counted
down
until
it
reaches
“1”,
at which point playback will start.
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and. counting
blanks of about 4 seconds, normally the
intervals between tunes. Therefore, with
the following types of tapes, search func-
tions may not work correctly.
When the intervals between tunes cannot
be detected.
— Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
— High levels of noise in intervals (due
to recording old scratched records,
poor FM or AM reception, ete.),
— Separate sounds are recorded on the
right and left channels as on a language-
learning tape, etc.
When
parts
of
the
program
are
likely
to
be
detected
as
intervals
between
tunes:
— Long low level sections (in classical
music, ete.)
— Momentary pauses in a speech at a
conference, etc.
- Continuing low level portions created
by fading out, etc.
ln the case of tapes containing fade-outs,
because the length of the blanks can differ
depending on how fading out was per-
formed, some tune intervals may be de-
tected and others may not.
This problem can be corrected using the
REC MUTE facility.
How to Select any Required Tune Using CPS
Ex: See (1). To select the 3rd tune past the current tape position, select “3”.
