Press PLAY to preview the location of the ID point. The tape will rewind to the position, with the offset added or subtracted, and start playing back from the previewed ID position. While playing back, the word Posit will be shown on the display. When play- back stops after a few seconds, the offset value will replace the word Posit, and may be re-adjusted as described above.

Repeat the adjustment of the ID point and the pre- view of the point as many times as necessary.

Use the ID SELECT key to choose either a START ID or a SKIP ID to write at the selected position, if the display does not already show the desired ID type.

When the ID point has been located satisfactorily, press ENTER. The display will show WR-STor WR-SK, depending on whether a START or SKIP ID is being written.

The edited point can also be used here as a location memory (use the MEMO 1 or MEMO 2 key).

The writing of the ID can be canceled at any time after POSITION has been pressed by pressing STOP.

4.4.4 Writing an END ID

Writing an END ID will stop the tape. If an END ID is written in the middle of recorded material, the material following the END ID will be inaccessible until the END ID is erased.

An END ID can be written from the record, or the record pause mode.

Select the END WRT option as described in 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode".

Press ENTER. The END ID will be written at the point that ENTER is pressed.

4.4.5 Erasing a START or SKIP ID

Select the START ERASE or SKIP ERASE option as described in 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode".

Locate the tape to a little after the START or SKIP ID to be erased.

Press ENTER. The tape will move backwards to find the first appropriate ID, and ER-STor ER-SKas appropriate is shown in the display.

When the ID has been located, the START ERASE or SKIP ERASE shown in the display will start flashing, and the RECORD and PLAY indicators will light.

After the ID has been erased, the deck will continue playing the tape.

NOTE

If a START ID is erased, the program num- bers will not be continuous. The renumbering function may be used to restore the sequence.

4.4.6 Erasing an END ID

Select END ERASE as the ID mode (see 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode").

Move the tape to a little after the END ID, and press

ENTER.

The tape will move back to the END ID and will erase it (the RECORD and PLAY indicators will both light). While the ID is being erased, the words END ERASE will flash in the display.

4.4.7 Erasing titles

If characters have been recorded on tape, the boxed word CHAR will appear on the bottom of the display (below the seconds digits).

To erase the characters which have been previously recorded as program titles, select CHAR ERASE as the ID mode (see 4.4.1, "Selecting an ID mode").

Move the tape to a little after the end of the START ID containing the characters to be erased,

Press ENTER; the display will show ER-CH, and the tape will start moving back until the START ID containing the characters is located on tape. The character information will then be erased (the RECORD and PLAY indicators will both light), but the START ID containing the title characters and the audio information will be retained. While the erase operation is taking place, the words CHAR ERASE will flash in the display.

4.4.8 Renumbering START IDs

If START IDs have been written to a tape after audio recording has taken place, or if START IDs have been removed from a sequence, the program num- bers will not form a continuous series.

To renumber the programs, select RENUM as the ID mode.

The right side of the display will show #01 (flash- ing), showing that the first START ID will be renum- bered as 01.
