used as a “sign-change” key.

[9]RHSL (F 1) key and indicator

This key and indicator allow selection of the rehearsal mode in auto punch-in and out (see 6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[10]AUTO PUNCH (F 2) key and

indicator

This key and indicator allow automatic punch-in and punch out following rehearsal (see 6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[11]CLEAR (F 3) key

This key defeats the rehearsal and auto modes dur- ing auto punch-in and out (see 6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”). It is also used to cancel a format operation (see 6.1, “Formatting a tape”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[12]AUTO PLAY (F 4) key and indicator

When this key is pressed (the indicator will light), the DA-98 will automatically start playing as soon as a preset location point has been reached (see 8.2.4, “Location and playback”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[13]MEMO 1 (F 5)

When pressed, this key stores the current tape position into a memory location point which can

be accessed using the key [22]. The loca- tion can be “nudged” using the menu functions (see 8.1.2, “Checking, editing and manually enter- ing MEMO 1 and MEMO 2”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[14] MEMO 2 (+/–)

When pressed, this key stores the current tape position into a memory location point which can be accessed using the LOC 2 key [23]. When the

[15]DIGITAL IN switch and indicator

This switch controls the input to the DA-98. When on (indicator lights), the input is through the DIGI- TAL I/O (TDIF-1) connector on the rear panel, oth- erwise it is through the ANALOG INPUT connector.

[16]CHASE switch and indicator

The CHASE switch controls whether the DA-98’s transport is to “chase” a master machine (indicator is lit when chasing or flashing when preparing to chase) or to operate independently. The chase mode may be either timecode or ABS based (see 10.1, “ABS and SMPTE/EBU timecode”).

[17]CONFIDENCE MODE switch and indicator

The DA-98 features a confidence replay mode which allows off-tape monitoring. This switch and its associated indicator allow selection and view- ing of the status of this monitoring mode.

For a full explanation of confidence monitoring, see 7.2, “Confidence mode”.

[18]ALL INPUT (F 6) key and indicator

When this key is pressed, the indicator will light, and, regardless of the transport mode, all outputs will be switched to the signals derived from the inputs. This is primarily for alignment purposes, and is equivalent to pressing all the

TOR switches ([29]) together.

For a full treatment of monitoring modes on the DA-98, see 7, “Monitoring modes”

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[19]AUTO MON (F 7) key and indicator

When this key is pressed (the indicator will light), the monitoring system of the DA-98 automatically changes between input and off-tape monitoring, depending on the transport mode.

For a full treatment of monitoring modes on the DA-98, see 7, “Monitoring modes”

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.
