Vari-pitch function procedures

4. Set the desired pitch data using the JOG dial.

Rotating the JOG dial enables you to hear changes in playback

speed. Rotating the dial clockwise increases the speed, and

rotating it counter-clockwise decreases the speed.

To continue the playback with the Vari Pitch function on, press

the EXIT/NO key.

This recorder exits Vari Pitch data edit mode, indicates the

previous Time Base display, and continues playing with the

Vari Pitch you just set.

5. To turn off Vari Pitch mode, press the VARI PITCH

key.

The VARI PITCH LED turns off, the Vari Pitch function is

cancelled, and this recorder resumes playback at normal

speed.

6. If you wish to play back data at the current Vari

Pitch again, press the VARI PITCH key to turn

the LED on.

You can turn the Vari Pitch function on and off and edit the

pitch data while this recorder is playing or stopped, but not

during recording.

However, if the Vari Pitch function has already been turned

on and the pitch data was specified before you started

recording, this recorder will record using the current Vari

Pitch.

<Notes>

• Even if the pitch data is 0.0% (no speed change),

pressing the VARI PITCH key will still turn on the

VARI PITCH function.

The speed is not changed, but the Vari Pitch is

turned on.

• The Vari Pitch function is automatically turned off

under the following conditions:

1.You have turned off and on the power to this recorder.

The pitch data will be reset to 0.0%.
