7.2.1 Arming tracks in pairs

In confidence mode, tracks are armed and unarmed in pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8).

NOTE

Turning on confidence mode unarms any tracks which have been armed prior to turning on confidence mode.

1)Pressing the REC FUNCTION of either track 1 or track 2, for instance, will arm both tracks 1 and 2.

2)Pressing either track 1 or track 2’s REC FUNCTION key will unarm both tracks (regardless of which track’s REC FUNCTION key was used to arm the tracks).

3)If confidence mode is turned off, track arming and unarming can now be carried out on a track-by-track basis.

Even if tracks were armed in pairs while confi- dence mode was enabled, when confidence mode is disabled, they can now be unarmed individually.

7.2.2 Using confidence mode

1)Adjust the recording levels on all armed tracks.

2)Turn off AUTO MON mode and make sure that the ALL INPUT switch is off.

NOTE

Using confidence mode, it is possible to monitor some tracks off-tape during recording while monitoring the input source of others. However, as explained above, the way in which the confidence mode is implemented means that the off-tape signals are delayed by 240 milli- seconds relative to the input source signals. Hence, the off-tape and source signals will be out of sync, and we suggest that if “mixed-mode” monitoring is to be carried out, the same operator should not attempt to listen to both off-tape and source monitor signals.

3)Press the CONFIDENCE MODE key [17] once. The indicator will flash.

4)Press the CONFIDENCE MODE key again within five seconds of pressing it for the first time. The indicator will light steadily.

If you do not press the CONFIDENCE MODE key twice within five seconds, the indicator will stop

flashing. This is to stop you from entering the con- fidence mode by accident.

5) To leave confidence mode, press the

CONFIDENCE MODE key once.
