| master, then format extension begins with the master. |
| • If the slave’s FORMAT icon is off, the slave autolocates to the same time as the |
| master and plays or records in sync. |
J | To properly extend the format, the master and slaves should be playing in sync |
before punching into format record. | |

| “noFO” (no format) while flashing the FORMAT icon. |
| • If the slave tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the same time as the |
| master and plays or records in sync, |

| sync is achieved. |
