the variable pitch speed.
Variable Pitch Control ON/OFF
<Precaution>
The variable pitch control can be turned ON/OFF when
the recorder is in the STOP/PLAY modes. Variable pitch
control is not available when the recorder is recording,
even though the key is pressed.
Setting the Speed
Note that the speed can be set only in the recorder STOP
or PLAY mode. It cannot be changed when the recorder
is recording. By playing back a program with the
variable pitch control ON it is possible to adjust the
speech while monitoring the changes.
1. Put the recorder in the STOP or PLAY mode. Press the
[VARI PITCH/P.EDIT] key while the [SHIFT] key is
depressed.
The current setting appears on the LCD and “ % ” flashes.
This means that the recorder is ready to edit with the
variable pitch control feature.
Variable pitch control ON/OFF alternates between ON and
OFF each time the
[VARI PITCH] key is pressed in this state.
“ ” or “ ” lights up.
<Precaution>
• You can turn ON the variable pitch function by
pressing the [VARI PITCH] key, even when the
current pitch data is 0.0% (state where there is
no change in speed). However, this does not
mean that there is any change in speed in this
state. It simply means that the variable pitch
function is ON.
• The variable pitch is automatically turned OFF
in the following cases:
1 . When the power is turned ON again. (the pitch
data is reset to 0.0% at this time)
2 . When the “ Slave Mode On/Off Setting ” of the
SETUP mode is turned “ On ”. (previously set
pitch data are saved)

display while the [Digital Input Setting] in the
SETUP mode is set to “

sound of only the track selected.

<Scrub ” or “ Scrub> ” appears when turning
the [JOG] dial, which moves the cursor forward or reverse.
The time value (or BAR/BEAT) also appears in realtime
while scrubbing.
