[29] LOC 1

Pressing this key will locate the tape to the first mem- ory location (set with this key in shifted mode). If the tape is playing when this key is pressed, the tape will resume playing when the location is reached, other- wise it will stop.

When the key is pressed, the value stored in the first location memory will flash on the right side of the display (frames, program numbers and margin will disappear while the tape is locating, and be restored once location is complete).

If a pre-roll time has been set in the menu, pressing this key will locate to the memory location minus the pre-roll time.

[30] LOC 2

This key functions in exactly the same way asLOC 1

[29]above, except that the second location memory is used rather than the first.

[31] SINGLE PLAY

The single play mode, when active, will play only one program , i.e. when the next START ID is encountered, playback will stop. When single play mode is active, the display will show SINGLE PLAY.

[32] SHIFT

This key is a latching key. When active, the indicator beside and above the key lights, and the command keys take on their shifted functions, as indicated by the blue captions above them.

See 4, "Advanced functions" for details of these shifted functions.

[33] DIGITAL (AES/EBU) INPUT/OUTPUT

These XLR connectors, wired in accordance with the AES/EBU standard, provide digital audio input and output facilities with the data being output in either AES/EBU or SPDIF format (as selected in 3.6, "Dig- ital output format"). The format of data received (AES/EBU or SPDIF) is automatically detected.

[34] DIGITAL COAXIAL

These RCA connectors provide digital audio input and output facilities with the data being output in either AES/EBU or SPDIF format (as selected in 3.6, "Digital output format"). The bit length is set using

the menu system (see 3.7, "Digital out word length"). The format of data received (AES/EBU or SPDIF) is automatically detected.

[35] WORD IN and THRU (AUTO TERM)

These BNC connectors provide an input for an exter- nal word clock (selected using the CLOCK switch

[4]set to the WORD position) at the IN connector, which is re-transmitted from the THRU connector. There is no need to provide any termination for the THRU connector if no connection is made to it.

[36] CONTROL I/O

This 15-pin ’D’-sub connector is used for connection to a suitably-equipped controller.

As well as the mode described in the table below, this connector can also be used as a serial connector. Please contact your TASCAM distributor for details of this facility.
