Using sound muted portion
If you intend to dub the DAT cassette onto an analog
cassette tape, we recommend that you insert sound muted
portions between selections on the DAT cassette.
This will ensure that the AMS function of the analog
cassette deck works correctly for the recorded tape.
Note
With DAT deck, the AMS function is realized by using the
start ID code. (See page 26.)
Caution
To place a space on a DAT cassette, you must not advance
the tape with the ^ or ► button. If a space is created this
way, no absolute time code will be recorded on the
succeeding area, and you cannot check the elapsed time
of the tape.
To create a sound muted portion of more than 4 seconds
Keep the OREC MUTE button pressed for as long as you want to
make a recorded portion with no signals. After about 4 seconds,
the IRECI indicator flashes rapidly. When you release the OREC
MUTE button, the deck enters the record-pause mode.
The interval between selections is indicated in the MARGIN
display.
To create a sound muted portion of less than 4 seconds
Press the OREC MUTE button, and then the llPAUSE button while
the REC indicator is flashing.
To start recording In the rec mute mode
Press the *REC button while the PEC I indicator is flashing.
If the previous recording was applied to the middle of the
tape, you must locate exactly the last point of the recorded
area, and start the new recording from this point. This will
prevent leaving a blank section on the tape.
If you want space between the last recording and the new
recording, use the OREC MUTE button to mute the sound.
