[31]TC REC switch and indicator

This switch is used when you wish to record time- code (either internally generated or from an exter- nal source) on a dedicated subcode track of the DA-98. No audio track is needed to record time- code. For full details of timecode operation, see 10, “Operations related to timecode”.

NOTE

It is not necessary to use timecode if two DTRS units (e.g. DA-88, DA-38 or DA-98 machines) are to be operated together. The SYNC connections will ensure synchronization between machines (see 9.2, “Machine ID and master/slave settings”)..

[32]REW key

Rewinds the tape at high speed.

If this key is pressed during recording, recording will stop and the tape will rewind.

[33]F FWD key

Winds the tape forward at high speed.

If this key is pressed during recording, recording will stop and the tape will wind forward.

NOTE

When either REW or F FWD is pressed for the first time after powering up, or loading a tape, the unit first configures itself for the reel hub diameter of the tape in use, during which the tape advances at low speeds. This takes several seconds. Thereaf- ter, the transport momentarily goes into stop mode before the tape starts fast-winding.

[34]STOP key

Cancels any current tape transport mode, and stops the tape.

[35]PLAY key

Starts playing the tape. If this key pressed while recording is in progress, the DA-98 drops out of record mode.

[36]RECORD key

If the PLAY key ([35]) is pressed while the RECORD key is held down, recording will start on all “armed” tracks (see 6.3, “Preparing to record”).

If the DA-98 is in play mode, and the REC key is pressed, recording will start immediately on any “armed” tracks.

The RECORD key also is used to set punch-in points during auto punch-in/out operations (see 6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”).
