3.11HR time display

H R - T M

T a p e T M

 

 

When recording or playing back in the HR(24BIT) mode, the tape moves at twice the normal speed. The tape counter can use the subcode recorded on the tape as its reference, meaning that the displayed time passes twice as fast as real time, or it can display real time.

The selected display mode is used in PGM Time mode and REMAIN Time mode (see COUNTER MODE [21]). A * symbol appears at the top of the display when real time mode is selected.

The options available in this menu are: TapeTM (using the ABS time in the tape subcode), or RealTM (using real time for the tape counter).

The default value is TapeTM.

NOTE

This menu item only applies to tapes recorded in the HR mode; it has no relevance to tapes recorded in standard mode.

3.12Repeat mode

R e p e a t

1 0 T M S

 

 

This menu item controls the number of times that the playback will repeat when the repeat mode is set (see 4.1, "REPEAT").

The options available are: 10TMS (the playback will repeat 10 times) and UnLimt (the playback will repeat indefinitely until stopped).

The default value is 10TMS.

3.13Pre-roll time

P r e R o l

0 s e c

 

 

Sets a pre-roll time, so that the tape will locate to a fixed point before either of the location memories when the appropriate key (LOC 1 [29] or LOC 2 [30]) is pressed. The setting made here has no effect on locating to the START IDs of programs using the SKIP keys [12] or the DATA dial [20].

The values available are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 seconds.

The default value is 0 seconds.

3.14End tally signal

E n d T L Y

T - E n d

 

 

Controls the timing of the tape end tally signal trans- mitted through the CONTROL I/O [36] port. The signal can either be transmitted at the end of the tape, or at a fixed interval before the tape end.

The values available are: T-End(the tally signal will be transmitted at the end of the tape), 1min, 2min and 3min (the tally signal will be trans- mitted before the end of the tape is reached).

The default value is T-End.

3.15Auto rewind

A t - R e w

o f f

 

 

This menu item determines whether the tape will be automatically rewound when the end of the tape or an END ID is reached in play mode.

The two options available are: off (the tape will not be rewound when the end of the tape or an END ID is reached) and on (the tape will be automati- cally rewound when the end of the tape or an END ID is reached).

The default value is off.

3.16Fast forward mode

F F - K e y

N o r m a l

 

 

This menu item determines whether the F FWD and REW keys will act as cue and review keys, respec- tively, if they are pressed while the tape deck is in play mode. The two settings are Normal (the unit will go from play mode to fast wind) and Cue (the unit will enter cue/review mode when the fast wind keys are pressed).

The setting made here also applies to fast wind com- mands made through the CONTROL I/O [36] con- nector, and using the optional RC-D45 remote control unit.

The default value is Normal.
