the location in a memory”) and recalled for later
use.
6.5.4 Manual entry of a location point
You can also use the numeric keypad to enter a
time value manually from a cue list, etc. to which
you can locate.
Time values are entered from the right of the dis-
play, which is cleared as soon as a number key is
pressed. For instance, to enter a value of
01:25:34:12 , the following keys should be
pressed:
Note that the ENTER/LOAD key [20] is used to
confirm the entry.
If you make a mistake entering the value, you can
stop the entry procedure with the
CANCEL key
[19]. The display will stop flashing.
This time value can now be used for “instant”
location (simply press the
LOC key [41]) or
stored in a location memory for further use (see
6.5.6, “Storing the location in a memory”).
6.5.5 Editing a location
When a location has been captured or entered as
described above, it can be edited using the jog dial
[28].
1) Ensure that the DATA INC/DEC indicator [27]
is lit.
If this indicator is not lit, the JOG dial will control
the tape transport.
2) Use the JOG dial to adjust the value of the
location point.
3) To confirm this edited value, either locate to the
position that you have just edited, or store the
edited value into the location memory.
4) To use the JOG dial as a transport control
again, press the DATA INC/DEC key so that the
indicator goes out.
6.5.6 Storing the location in a memory
There are 100 memories into which location time
values may be stored, numbered from
00 to 99 .
The location memory which is currently in used is
shown in the 2-digit
MEMORY NO. display [14].
As mentioned above (6.3, “Setting a relative time
reference”), location
00 is used for special pur-
poses, such as storing the “zero” reference point in
relative time mode. We therefore suggest that you
do not use location memory
00 as a general loca-
tion point.
1) Enter or capture a location time (you do not
need to press ENTER in this case).
2) Press the STR key [17].
The LOCATE TIME/VALUE display will stop
flashing, and the MEMORY NO . display [14] will
start to flash.
3) Use the numeric keypad [16] to enter the
number of the location memory into which you
want to store the value.
The number will “fill up” from the right. If you
want to store the time value in memory
03 , for
example, you only need to press the 3 key, but if
you want to store it in memory 13 , press the 1 key,
followed by the 3 key.
You can also use the JOG dial as a data dial (when
the DATA INC/DEC indicator [27] is lit) to select
the location memory.
4) Press the ENTER/LOAD key [20].
The MEMORY NO. display will stop flashing, and
the value is stored in the location memory.
If you enter the wrong location memory, press the
CANCEL [19] key. The MEMORY NO. display
will stop flashing and will return to its previous
value.
6.5.7 Recalling a location memory
To recall and locate to a time value stored in a
location memory:
1) Press the RCL key [18].
The MEMORY NO . display [14] will start to flash.
1 00:00:00:01 (display is cleared and
starts flashing)
2 00:00:00:12
5 00:00:01:25
3 00:00:12:53
4 00:01:25:34
1 00:12:53:41
2 01:25:34:12
ENTER/LOAD (stops display flashing and enters the
value)
NOTE
Location memories stored on the RC-898 are completely
independent of either the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 points
stored in the DTRS units, or of the 10 extra memory loca-
tions which may be stored in a DA-98 unit.
