Blank Section and Sound Muted Portion

With conventional analog audio tapes, the tape portion on which no recording ever has been made and the portion on which a recording has been made but the sound is muted are treated the same, since no sound can be heard from these portions. However, with DAT cassette, you should know that the two kinds of “no sound” portions must definitely be distinguished one from the other.

Blank section Å

Means the portion on which no recording ever has been applied.

Sound muted portion ı

Means the portion on which a recording has been applied but that no audible sound is recorded.

Important

When recording, be certain that no blank section is left on the tape. If blank sections remain on the tape, search operations using the AMS buttons, for example, may take quite a long time or the absolute time is not written correctly.

Difference between the blank section and sound-muted portion

When you record, a track format is constructed on the recorded area, even if the sound is muted during recording. On the blank section, since no recording is applied, there is no track format.
