Operating instructions
❑ Storing with the STO Button and the 10-Key Pad: The STO button is
used to memorize the time displayed in the Locate Time readout. Up to
ten different times can be stored at once. Memory is volatile, meaning it
is not saved after the power is turned off.
1. To store a given cue, display the desired cue point time in the Locate
Time readout (refer to § 4.3.1).
2. While holding the the STO button down, press any one of the 10 numeric
keys on the 10-Key Pad. The number pressed (0 through 9) becomes
the "address" where the Locate Time is stored.
3. To store a second cue, repeat Steps 1 and 2 using a different address. If
the same address is re-used, the previously stored time will be replaced
by the new entry.
NOTE: Tape Time can be "captured" "on the fly" while the tape is playing or
recording by pressing SHIFT RIGHT at the exact time to be recorded and then
pressing STO followed by a numeric address or by pressing a STORE 0-9
button.
4.3.3 Recalling Cue Points
The RCL button is used to retrieve a time which was previously stored and
display it in the Locate Time readout. When the machine is first turned on, all
addresses are initialized so they contain 00.00.
1. To recall a given cue, press the RCL button and then press the numeric
key (0 through 9) which identifies the "address" where the time was
stored. The time will display on the Locate Time readout and will also
remain in memory.
2. To recall another cue, Repeat Step 1. It is not necessary to first reset the
readout since the recalled time will replace any previously displayed
Locate Time.
4.3.4 Clearing Cue Points
There are several methods to clear the memories.
❑ Enter 0H00M00S into the Locate Time and pressing the STO button and
the number of the address of the memory to be erased on the 10-Key
pad. The tape time location of 0H00M00S will be stored.
❑ Press the STORE button for the memory to be erased twice within one
second.
❑ Pressing the ALL CLEAR button twice within one second will clear all
memories.
