(2) Keying in Locations
You can specify two points (MEMO 1 and 2) on the tape
to which you want the DA-38 to autolocate. You can also
have the DA-38 continually play a segment between two
MEMO points.
You can specify points on the tape in either of two ways :
• Hold SHIFT and hit MEMO 1/2 on the fly during
the recording or playback process, or
• Key in the desired time points.
The first method allows you to specify locations while
monitoring the recording or playback process. The second
method may be used when the necessary time addresses
are known to you in advance or when you want to trim
MEMO points captured on the fly.
