•If the tape is blank, make sure to start recording from the beginning of the tape.
•Use the Record Muting function (see page 14) to insert spaces between tracks. Do not advance the tape with the PLAY ( or FF ) button.

Important
Make sure no blank sections are created while you are recording. The existence of blank sections within recorded material will make search operations using the PREVIOUS =/NEXT + buttons impossible or destroy the continuity of the absolute time codes.
Absolute time codes
The absolute time indicates the elapsed time from the beginning of the tape. Once recorded, the absolute time codes cannot be
If “EMPHASIS” appears in the display
The deck is recording a digital signal with emphasis (in the higher frequencies). The recording will also contain the same emphasis.
If the deck is left in recording pause for more than 10 minutes
Recording pause will be released automatically and the deck will stop for the sake of tape protection. “SOURCE” will appear in the display of the PCM- R500.
To resume recording, press the REC rbutton. The deck will change to recording pause.
