Inserting a Sound-Muted
Section While Recording
(Record Muting)
Use Record Muting to insert a space of about 4 seconds
between tracks. This is recommended if you plan to
copy the DAT tape to an analog audio cassette tape
since the spaces will allow you to use automatic search
functions to locate the beginning of each track.
When you start recording from the beginning of a
blank tape and want to insert a space before the first
track, be sure to create a sound-muted section using
Record Muting only. Do not advance the tape with the
FF
) or PLAY ( button since this will create a
blank section on the tape (see page 9).

The counter in long-play mode
The displayed tape running time, absolute time and
remaining time on the tape are for standard-play mode.
Double the time to obtain the corresponding times for
long-play mode.
Note
Do not change the INPUT or REC MODE setting while
recording. This may cause an error in the “PGM TIME”
(playing time of the track) display.
Using the SBM (Super Bit
Mapping) Function
You can use the SBM function to record on analog
input signal only when the INPUT switch is set to
ANALOG and the REC MODE switch to STANDARD
(either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz). For details on the SBM
function, see “SBM (Super Bit Mapping) Function” on
page 20.
