Operating instructions

[15] SEARCH ZERO Button Pressing the SEARCH ZERO button causes the MTR-90III to return at fast
wind (or rewind) speed to the 0.00.00 Tape Time shown on the MTR-90III
Tape Time readout. There are three variations of Search Zero Mode.
NOTE: If the Auto locator Tape Time readout has been changed to a different
zero from the MTR-90III, it will reset to match the MTR-90III the moment
SEARCH ZERO is pressed. Search Zero always searches for the zero of the
MTR-90III Tape Time display.
❑ Search Zero/Stop: Pressing the SEARCH ZERO button will wind the tape
to zero Tape Time and then stop the transport.
❑ Search Zero/Play: Pressing the SEARCH ZERO and PLAY [11] buttons
causes the PLAY button to flash and the tape to wind to zero Tape Time.
The transport enters Play mode and the PLAY button will remain brightly
illuminated.
❑ Search Zero/Record: Pressing the SEARCH ZERO and then the PLAY
and RECORD [11] buttons causes the PLAY and RECORD buttons to
flash and the tape to wind to the zero point and enter Record mode.
NOTE: Search Zero/Play (Search Zero/Record) mode functions only when the
PLAY button (or PLAY and RECORD buttons) on the Auto Locator is pressed.
Pressing this button (these buttons) on the Remote Control Unit or on the
transport ends the search and causes the machine to enter Play (Record)
mode.
❑ Ending Search Zero: To end (“abort”) a Search Zero, press STOP,
REWIND or FAST FORWARD on the Auto Locator; their counterparts on
the MTR-90III transport; or the PLAY button on the Remote Control Unit
or on the transport.
[16] ZERO SET Button This button is used to automatically reset both the MTR-90III and the Auto
Locator Tape Time readouts to zero at a specific point on the tape (see
§4.3.10.)
[17] SEARCH 0–9 Buttons/Indicators When moving the tape directly to the memorized location, press the SEARCH
0–9 button of the memory in which the location has been memorized. The
tape moves automatically to the position.
[18] STORE 0–9 Buttons/Indicators When one of these buttons is pressed, the tape time displayed in the Locate
Time readout will be stored into the memory of the button pressed. When the
indicator for a STORE 0–9 button is illuminated, it indicates that a tape time
is stored in its memory and that STORE 0–9 button is ineffective. Up to ten
tape times can be stored.
❑ Clearing Cue Memories: Pressing the STORE 0–9 button for any
