About Sub Codes

In the DAT format, sub codes (i.e., control codes such as start IDs and program numbers) can be written on the tape along with the audio signal. These sub codes allow you to use AMS (see page 13) or Direct Access (see page 13). Since sub codes are written on the tape separately from the audio signal, they have no effect on the audio signal.

Start ID

Start IDs

Start IDs indicate the start of a track, and therefore allow you to locate the position of a track precisely. The start IDs are 9 seconds in length (18 seconds in long-play mode) to enable easy detection during fast- forwarding or rewinding.

Program numbers

Program numbers serve as track numbers. Occupying the same position as start IDs, a program numbers allow you to locate specific tracks.

Notes

•The STOP p and PAUSE P buttons do not work during the writing of sub codes.

•Writing and erasing of start IDs and renumbering of program numbers are impossible if the record-protect hole on the DAT cassette is open (see page 7).

Writing Start IDs During Recording

You can write start IDs either manually or automatically anytime during recording.
