15. [JAM] switch
Used to execute the jamming function (see page 95).
When this switch is set to "ON" and the PD606 is receiving external time
code, the internal time code generator takes over (jams) time code.
Note that the jamming function is only available when the TC generator
mode is set to "Free Run". Depending on the setting of the "JAM mode"
menu item in the TC SETUP menu of the MENU mode, the PD606 also
jams the time code user bits (see page 188).

While you slide up and holding the switch knob to the “TONE” position,
the slate tone is output. While sliding down and hold the knob to the

While sliding up and hold the switch knob to the “TONE” position, the
slate tone (at 1 kHz, reference level) is fed to all channels and the
stereo bus. During recording, you can record the slate tone.

tion for more than three seconds, the slate tone is continuously output
even after you release the switch knob. Sliding up the knob to the
