Note

The absolute time may not be written correctly in the following cases.

•When recording on a partially recorded tape for which the absolute time has not been written originally.

Note

Do not press the STOP p

button when “ ” is displayed. If pressing it, the absolute time will

become “ ” and will not be written thereafter.

Locating the point at which to begin recording

The absolute time is automatically written simultaneously while recording.

The absolute time is indicated as the length of time from the beginning of the tape, and is useful in determining the elapsed time from the beginning of the tape. If you wish to continue to record on a partially recorded tape, make sure that you initially locate the end of the previous recording prior to resuming recording from that point to avoid leaving any unrecorded segment unnecessarily. Once the absolute time is written, it cannot be erased.

If you wish to insert a four-second blank segment automatically, refer to page 18 for “Recording blank segment—REC MUTE”.
