the location in a memory”) and recalled for later use.

6.5.4Manual entry of a location point

You can also use the numeric keypad to enter a time value manually from a cue list, etc. to which you can locate.

Time values are entered from the right of the dis- play, which is cleared as soon as a number key is pressed. For instance, to enter a value of 01:25:34:12, the following keys should be pressed:

100:00:00:01 (display is cleared and starts flashing)

200:00:00:12

500:00:01:25

300:00:12:53

400:01:25:34

100:12:53:41

201:25:34:12

ENTER/LOAD (stops display flashing and enters the value)

Note that the ENTER/LOAD key [20] is used to confirm the entry.

If you make a mistake entering the value, you can stop the entry procedure with the CANCEL key [19]. The display will stop flashing.

This time value can now be used for “instant” location (simply press the LOC key [41]) or stored in a location memory for further use (see 6.5.6, “Storing the location in a memory”).

6.5.5 Editing a location

When a location has been captured or entered as described above, it can be edited using the jog dial [28].

1)Ensure that the DATA INC/DEC indicator [27] is lit.

If this indicator is not lit, the JOG dial will control the tape transport.

2)Use the JOG dial to adjust the value of the location point.

3)To confirm this edited value, either locate to the position that you have just edited, or store the edited value into the location memory.

4)To use the JOG dial as a transport control again, press the DATA INC/DEC key so that the indicator goes out.

6.5.6Storing the location in a memory

There are 100 memories into which location time values may be stored, numbered from 00 to 99.

The location memory which is currently in used is shown in the 2-digit MEMORY NO. display [14].

As mentioned above (6.3, “Setting a relative time reference”), location 00 is used for special pur- poses, such as storing the “zero” reference point in relative time mode. We therefore suggest that you do not use location memory 00 as a general loca- tion point.

NOTE

Location memories stored on the RC-898 are completely independent of either the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 points stored in the DTRS units, or of the 10 extra memory loca- tions which may be stored in a DA-98 unit.

1)Enter or capture a location time (you do not need to press ENTER in this case).

2)Press the STR key [17].

The LOCATE TIME/VALUE display will stop flashing, and the MEMORY NO. display [14] will start to flash.

3)Use the numeric keypad [16] to enter the number of the location memory into which you want to store the value.

The number will “fill up” from the right. If you want to store the time value in memory 03, for example, you only need to press the 3 key, but if you want to store it in memory 13, press the 1 key, followed by the 3 key.

You can also use the JOG dial as a data dial (when the DATA INC/DEC indicator [27] is lit) to select the location memory.

4) Press the ENTER/LOAD key [20].

The MEMORY NO. display will stop flashing, and the value is stored in the location memory.

If you enter the wrong location memory, press the CANCEL [19] key. The MEMORY NO. display will stop flashing and will return to its previous value.

6.5.7 Recalling a location memory

To recall and locate to a time value stored in a location memory:

1) Press the RCL key [18].

The MEMORY NO. display [14] will start to flash.
