• When the signal drops below a certain level for more than
3 seconds between tunes, the next Start ID and Program No.
codes are marked automatically.
Notes;
1.
When a very quiet sound (such as a pianissimo passage)
continues for a relatively long time. Start ID and Program
No. codes might be marked erroneously.
2. When the gap between tunes is less than 3 seconds, neither
the Start ID nor Program No. codes will be marked.
3. When operating using the remote control unit, the ST-WRITE
button has same function as the START ID button of the main
unit.
Marking the End code (Manual)
Be sure to mark the End code when you stop recording in the
middle of a tape.

START ID
• With this operation, manual marking is possible anywhere you
want Start ID and Program No. codes.
• When recording is to start from the middle of the tape, first
rewind the tape to read the Program No. codes which have
already been marked.
Note:
Another Start ID code cannot be marked for 9 seconds after
automatic or manual marking has been started. (When recording
in the 32k-LP mode, this period becomes 18 seconds.)
Marking sub codes after recording
• Outline of operation for marking sub codes after recording
We recommend that sub codes are marked after recording.
Operate as follows:
1. First play back the recorded tape and check that Start ID
codes have been marked correctly at the beginning of each
tune.
2. Delete unnecessary sub codes (Start ID codes).
3. Insert additional Start ID codes at the beginnings of any
required tunes.
4. Mark the Start ID code using the AUTO ID EDIT function.
(See page 19.)
5. Renumber the Program No. codes with the RENUMBER
function. (See page 18.)
• When a Start ID is detected during playback, an indicator
is displayed in the display window. Each time a Program No.
or End code is detected, the PRGM NO changes.
Note:
Marking the sub codes is impossible when the safety tab
(accidental erasure prevention tab) is open. Check that the safety
tab is closed if you want to mark sub codes after recording.
