19. LCD (Liquid Crystai Display)
This backlit display (see also #24) provides you with
a variety of information, keeping you aware of what
is currently taking place.
DIGITAL IN : Lights when the INPUT select switch
is set to DIGITAL. Blinks when suitable digital
signals are not fed into the deck.
PGM : Indicates the elapsed time from the start of
the program currently being played back. The deck
will calculate elapsed time since the previous Start
ID. A broken line will show if the tape is inserted
in-between Start IDs.
REMAIN : Indicates the remaining time on the tape.
When a prerecorded music tape (encoded with
"TOC") is being played back, the reading is to
second accuracy. If the tape is not recorded with
TOC, the seconds column will be blank.
A broken line is displayed when the deck is
calculating the remaining time on the tape.
Tape Counter (when neither ABS nor PGM nor
REMAIN shows, as selected with the COUNTER
MODE switch) : Indicates the distance the tape has
travelled from a zero reference point established
with the RESET button.
AUTO ID : Lights when AUTO ID mode (p.9) is
selected. This mode is also used to have the tape
skip to the next Start ID mark when a Skip ID mark
is encountered during play.
lOOl : Blinks when a tape is being loaded. Glows
solid when loading is complete. It does not appear
when there is no tape inside the deck.
[5 : Blinks when condensation occurs in the deck.
: This is a battery meter with its 3 segments
representing a scale. As the battery power goes low,
the segments turn off in sequence, and then the last,
right segment starts blinking to warn you that the
battery would fully run down in about 10 minutes of
continuous record.
CAUTION
To maximize the service life of the battery, avoid
recharging the battery before the battery warning
starts blinking.
► '• : Rewind, fast forward, play, and
pause are indicated by the corresponding marks
being lit.
PGM NO : Shows the current program number. Also
displayed is the current sensitivity level of the
AUTO ID circuit when selecting "AUTO ID" with
the ID SELECT switch.
ABS : Indicates the elapsed time from the beginning
of the tape up to the current position. If a broken line
shows in the ABS display mode, the tape was not
recorded with ABS time data.
Peak Level Meters : These register input levels
during Record Ready, Input Monitor (see #16) or
Record modes and, output levels during Play.
48, 44.1, 32, and 32LP : In analog recording, 48 or
44.1 will light, as selected by the Fs switch. In
digital recording, 48, 44.1, or 32 will light
depending on incoming signals. 48, 44.1 and 32 will
light in turn and DIGITAL IN will blink if suitable
digital signals are not fed into the deck.
32LP will blink to indicate that the tape cannot be
played back with this deck because it is originally
recorded at the sampling rate of 32 kHz and in Long
Play mode.
(ID Mode indications) : This section of the display
shows the current ID editing mode, as selected by
the ID SELECT switch. A blinking indicator shows
the corresponding ID mark is being written on tape
or erased or programs are being renumbered. Each
time an ID mark is read off tape, the corresponding
indicator lights steadily.
MARGIN : This is a digital peak-hold meter,
showing the available headroom before digital
saturation is reached and distortion occurs. It holds
the highest reading since MARGIN RESET was last
pressed (the reading is also reset when EJECT is
pressed). It ranges between 39 and 0 dB during
recording. If 0 dB is flashing, it indicates that the
meter reached the OVERload point. The OVER
indication cannot appear while in playback.
