Renumbering the Program Numbers Automatically (Renumbering)

Renumbering searches for each start ID from the beginning of the tape and assigns a new program number to each one starting with 1. Use Renumbering in the following cases:

When you’ve added a start ID while playing the tape.

When a program number is missing due to an erased start ID.

When you began recording from the middle of the tape and wrote a program number that already exists, or when one of the the start IDs has no program number.

START ID RENUMBER

Press START ID RENUMBER while the deck is playing or stopped.

“RENUMBER” flashes in the display and the tape is automatically rewound to its beginning. The deck then starts searching for start IDs from the beginning of the tape and assigns a new consecutive program number to each track. When the deck detects a start ID, the deck plays the track from the start ID for 2 seconds, then writes a new program number on the tape. During this time, “RENUMBER” lights up and “START ID” flashes.

After Renumbering is finished, the deck rewinds the tape automatically to its beginning, then stops.

Note

Renumbering may not function correctly when:

A blank section exists on the tape.

The interval between two start IDs is less than 18 seconds (36 seconds in long-play mode).

A start ID exists within 10 seconds from the end of the tape.

Precautions

On safety

Do not disassemble the cabinet as this may result in an electric shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the AC power cord before operating the unit any further.

On power sources

Before operating the unit, check that its operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the unit.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet. To disconnect the cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On operation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside the unit, “CAUTION” may appear in the display, and the unit may not operate. If this happens, remove the cassette and leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On placement

Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up.

Do not place the unit:

on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

near heat sources.

in direct sunlight.

in an inclined position.

in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On the tapes

After using a tape, put it into its case and keep it where it will not be subject to sunlight, high temperature, moisture or dust.

The DAT cassette shell is designed to keep out dust. Do not open the case to expose the tape.

The hole at the back of the cassette is the detector slot. Do not cover this slot.
