Note

The interval between start IDs must be more than 18 seconds
(36 seconds in long-play mode). If the interval is less than 18
seconds (or 36 seconds), the deck may fail to detect the
second start ID during playback.

Writing the Start IDs Automatically During
Recording

Do the following procedure to automatically write
program numbers along with start IDs at the same
position.

• When recording an analog signal with the INPUT

switch at ANALOG

A start ID and program number are written whenever the
input signal rises above a given level after remaining at a
muted or low level for 3 seconds or more.

• When recording a digital signal with the INPUT

switch at OPTICAL or COAXIAL

A start ID and program number are written whenever a
new track is detected while recording a digital signal
through the COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN jack from a
digital source such as CD player or another DAT deck.
Start IDs and program numbers are not written, however,
for tracks that are less than 18 seconds in length.

beginning of a blank tape, program number “1”

(see “Renumbering the Program Numbers

you place your deck into recording pause and the CD

Note

During automatic start ID writing the positioning of some
start IDs may be inaccurately or inappropriately positioned
away from the beginning of the track. If this happens, you
can reposition or erase the start IDs later (see “Accurate
