Notes
• When playing certain types of premastered tapes, “BB”
may appear momentarily in the display at the beginning
of the tape.
• The playing time of the track does not appear in the
following cases:
— When you start playing from the middle of the track
— During rewinding
• In standard-play mode, the remaining time on the tape
appears about 16 seconds after you start playing.
• The displayed remaining time may vary somewhat from
the actual remaining time, depending on the tape.
Notes on the error rate counter
The counter shows the error rate of the audio signal
being played back for both playback heads A and B.
The four digits on the right and the left show the error
rate detected on the playback heads A and B,
respectively. When no error is detected, “0000”
appears for the respective playback head. Since the
recording of single audio channel takes both heads, the
error detected for the playback head A or B does not
necessarily correspond to the error on the L or R
channel.
Notes
• The counter may temporarily show high rate in the
following cases:
— when you play a portion recorded with INPUT or REC
mode setting has been changed during recording.
— when you monitor the sound at high speed.
— the transition from one recording to another or
beginning or the end of the tape is being played.
• The display returns to the absolute time indication when
you press:
— the OPEN/CLOSE
6 button
— the ID RENUMBER, ID REHEARSAL, WRITE, or
ERASE button.
If the ERR indicator flashes in the display or
the error rate counter remains in positive
value for 5 seconds or more
• The playback head is dirty. Clean the head with the
DAT cleaning cassette (see page 21).
• The tape is defective or damaged.
If the EMPHASIS indicator lights up in the
display
The deck is playing an audio signal recorded with
emphasis (in the higher frequencies). The deck,
however, plays the signal while automatically
deemphasizing it (with attenuation proportional to the
degree of emphasis).
