8. Fs select switch
This selects the sampling rate that will be used for
recording analog inputs only.
Set to 44.1 kHz if the tape will be used as a digital
master for CD production, or 48 kHz if the tape will
be used for other applications.
This switch has no effect when recording from digital
inputs or during playback. In these cases, the deck
will automatically switch to the frequency at which
those sources were originally recorded, as indicated
by 48, 44.1 or 32 in the upper right corner of the
display window.
9. INPUT select switch
Set to ANALOG when recording from the analog
XLR balanced inputs or RCA unbalanced inputs, or
DIGITAL when recording from DIGITAL IN.
"48," "44.1," and "32" will light in turn in the upper
right corner of the display window and "DIGITAL
IN" will flash in the center if, when recording from
digital sources, a suitable digital signal is not found.
10.SKIP buttons
Effective in PLAY, PAUSE, and STOP. When
pressed once, the left button rewinds the tape to the
beginning of the current program. Press the button
repeatedly to skip over several programs. The right
button fast-forwards the tape to the beginning of the
next program.
The deck automatically starts playing or goes into
pause mode at the end of search functions if you
press PLAY or PAUSE before or after SKIP.
After skip has started, you can change the number of
programs to skip over. For example, if you press the
right SKIP button, say 5 times running, and then the
left SKIP button once, you'll skip to the fourth
program ahead, instead of the fifth.
11. REW button
If pressed when in STOP or running in F FWD,
winds the tape at high speed in reverse.
If pressed once during play, offers 3 times normal
speed reverse cueing for review. If pressed twice,
offers 9 times normal speed reverse cueing. A third
press, switches back to 3 times normal speed reverse
cueing.
Holding down the button (for 1 second or more)
during play also allows cueing to an earlier point.
Review starts from the point where you release the
button.
A tap on REW during forward cueing (activated
with F FWD in a similar way to activating reverse
cueing) switches to the same speed reverse cueing ;
inversely, a tap on F FWD during reverse cueing
switches to the same speed forward cueing.
Another function is to autolocate the tape to a
record-in point. See the section on playback for an
explanation.
12. F FWD button
Similar to REW, but winds the tape in the forward
direction, offers the forward cueing, or autolocates
to a record-out point.
It is also used to autolocate the tape either to the
point beyond which there is nothing recorded so far
or to an End ID marked point. The tape will move
back over the length of 2 seconds when it finds an
End ID mark.
13.STOP button
Stops any tape motion. It also stops the DAT head
drum from spinning against the tape.
It is also used to disable Input Monitor mode.
14.PLAY button
If pressed while in STOP, REW or F FWD, starts
tape playback.
If pressed after PAUSE, resumes playback from the
point of interruption.
If pressed while in record ready (RECORD PAUSE),
starts recording.
If pressed before or after SKIP, starts playback at the
end of search functions.
It is also used to have the tape automatically start
playing after completing autolocation.
