HDR 24/96
When the recorder is operating as a time code slave (TC CHASE On), many of the transport controls
behave differently than when it’s operating on its own or serving as the time code master. We’ll
explain those differences in this section. Look for the Watch icon (shown to the left) for operational
difference when chasing time code. When the recorder is operating as a time code slave (TC CHASE On), many of the transport controls

PLAY
Used for audio playback, or in other words, to “roll tape”. The time code
display always advances while the HDR24/96 is in Play.
The [S PACE B AR ] is the keyboard shortcut for Play if the transport is stopped.
When in TC CHASE mode, the transport won’t run unless the recorder is
receiving time code. Pressing the PLAY button will “arm” the HDR24/96 for
play. The Play indicator will blink but playback won’t begin until the recorder begins receiving
time code. As soon as valid time code is received, the transport will immediately jump to the
incoming time code position and begin playing, at which time the Play indicator will stop flashing
and become solidly lit. When in the Chase mode, stopping the incoming time code causes the
HDR24/96 to stop.

STOP
Do we really have to tell you what the STOP button does? Okay, when the
recorder is running, this stops it. It halts recording, playback, or fast winding.
You’ll know it’s stopped because the time code display (both on the front panel
and GUI) stops changing, and the time bar and scrolling in the GUI will halt.
The space bar is the keyboard shortcut for toggling between STOP and PLAY.
If the transport is moving, it will stop. If it’s stopped, pressing the space bar
starts the transport in the Play mode.
If you’ve entered the Record mode with no tracks armed (by pressing PLAY and RECORD, but
we’re getting ahead of ourselves here – see page 77), pressing STOP will take the master record
button out of standby (flashing LED) status.
When chasing time code, the HDR24/96 pretty much ignores the STOP button. If there’s valid
time code coming in, pressing STOP will pause the recorder momentarily, but it will pick up
again with whatever it was doing once it realizes that there’s another Master, not you, controlling
