•CHAR, which allows the writing of alphanumeric characters (up to 60) which are associated with a START ID on the tape, which will be shown on the display when that part of the tape is replayed. These can be used as tape (if written at the first START ID) or program titles.

NOTE

All these IDs are written in the subcode of the tape— they may be written and erased freely without affecting the audio portion of the tape in any way.

4.4.1 Selecting an ID mode

Repeated presses of the ID SELECT key will cycle through the following options:

•START WRT— a START ID will be written

•SKIP WRT— a SKIP ID will be written

•END WRT— an END ID will be written

•START ERASE— the START ID immediately before the current location will be erased

•SKIP ERASE— the SKIP ID immediately before the current location will be erased

•END ERASE— the tape will move forward to the next END ID, which will be erased

•CHAR ERASE— the character information immediately before the current location will be erased

•RENUM— the tape will be rewound, and all START IDs will be renumbered in sequence, start- ing at 1.

WARNING

When one of the above ID modes is shown in the display, pressing ENTER may start the ID writing or editing operation. When writing or editing IDs is not required, therefore, press ID SELECT repeatedly until none of the above ID modes is shown on the display/

The ERASE and RENUM modes cannot be selected while the tape deck is recording.

While IDs are being written, erased or renumbered, all transport controls except STOP are disabled.

Protect will appear in the display when the ID SELECT key is pressed.

4.4.2Manually writing a START or SKIP ID (i)

With the tape deck playing a tape where audio has previously been recorded, or recording, select either the START WRT or SKIP WRT option as described above.

When the tape reaches the point where an ID is to be written, press ENTER [27].

The ID will be written at the point where the ENTER key is pressed. While the ID is being writ- ten, START WRT or SKIP WRT (as appropriate) will flash on the display and output will be muted (if the tape deck is in playback mode).

In playback mode, the display will also show WR- ST or WR-SK, and the playback will be restored after the ID has been written.

The PLAY and RECORD indicators will both light while the ID is being written.

NOTE

Do not press the STOP key while writing sub- code IDs. This will cause the IDs to be of indeterminate length, resulting in possible future operational problems.

4.4.3 Writing a START or SKIP ID (ii)

With the tape playing, press the POSITION key.

The current tape location in ABS time will be dis- played, together with the characters Posit, showing that the POSITION key has been pressed.

0 0H 2 3M 1 7s P o s i t

After two seconds, the time that which the POSITION key was pressed will be shown to frame accuracy, together with an offset value of 00 at the right of the display.

0 0H 2 3M 1 7S _ 1 8 F0 0

The PAUSE indicator will light, and the PLAY indi- cator will start to flash.

Use the INS/+ and DEL/- keys or the DATA dial to adjust the offset backwards or forwards by up to 50 frames in either direction.
