Note

The interval between start IDs must be more than 18 seconds (36 seconds in long-play mode). If the interval is less than 18 seconds (or 36 seconds), the deck may fail to detect the second start ID during playback.

Writing the Start IDs Automatically During Recording

Do the following procedure to automatically write program numbers along with start IDs at the same position.

•When recording an analog signal with the INPUT switch at ANALOG

A start ID and program number are written whenever the input signal rises above a given level after remaining at a muted or low level for 3 seconds or more.

•When recording a digital signal with the INPUT switch at OPTICAL or COAXIAL

A start ID and program number are written whenever a new track is detected while recording a digital signal through the COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN jack from a digital source such as CD player or another DAT deck. Start IDs and program numbers are not written, however, for tracks that are less than 18 seconds in length.

1Do Steps 1 to 7 of “Recording on a DAT” on pages 6 and 7.

The deck changes to recording pause.

2Press START ID AUTO repeatedly until “AUTO” appears in the display.

3If you are recording from the end of the recorded portion, use the number buttons to specify the program number after the last one recorded.

Example: When program number 5 is the last program number recorded on the tape.

Writing Sub Codes

If the last program number on the tape appears in the display, you don’t have to specify the next program number. If you are recording from the beginning of a blank tape, program number “1” appears in the display. If you forget program numbering at this time, you can add them later (see “Renumbering the Program Numbers Automatically (Renumbering)” on page 17).

4To start recording, press PAUSE P or PLAY (, then start playing the program source.

Start IDs are written on the tape automatically during recording.

“ID WRITE” appears for a few seconds whenever a sub codes (a start ID and program number) are being written.

During digital recording from a CD player

Start recording on your deck first, then press the ( PLAY button on the CD player while it is stopped. If you place your deck into recording pause and the CD into play pause before you start recording, the start ID and program number of the first track on the CD may not be correctly written to the tape.

Note

During automatic start ID writing the positioning of some start IDs may be inaccurately or inappropriately positioned away from the beginning of the track. If this happens, you can reposition or erase the start IDs later (see “Accurate Positioning of Start IDs (Rehearsal)” and “Erasing Start IDs” on page 16).
