Erasing Sub Codes
You can erase any start ID or skip ID.
START ID ERASE
Press either START ID ERASE or SKIP ID ERASE when
the ID you want to erase appears in the display.
"(ERASE)" appears in the display as the deck rewinds
to the beginning of the ID, then "ID ERASE" appears as
the deck erases the ID.
In the case of a skip ID, if "SKIP ID" has disappeared
by the time you press SKIP ID ERASE, the deck will
still erase the skip ID.
• It takes 9 seconds to erase a start ID.
• It takes 1 second to erase a skip ID.
• Program numbers are erased together with start IDs.
'Q' You can erase an ID even when it is not displayed
Just press the respective ERASE-button. The tape is
rewound, and the first ID detected is erased.
Note
A skip ID written at the same position of a start ID is erased
when the start ID is erased.
Renumbering the Program
Numbers Automatically
(Renumbering Function)
The Renumbering function searches for each start ID
from the beginning of the tape and assigns a new
program number to each one starting with 1. Use the
Renumbering function in the following cases:
• When you've added a start ID while playing the
tape.
• When a program number is missing due to an erased
start ID.
• When you began recording from the middle of the
tape and wrote a program number that already
exists, or when one of the start IDs has no program
number.
RENUMBER
Press RENUMBER while the deck is stopped or
playing.
"RENUMBER" flashes in the display and the tape is
automatically rewound to its beginning. The deck then
starts searching for each successive start ID writing a
new program number for each one starting with 1.
"RENUMBER" stops flashing and "ID WRITE"
appears in the display for a few seconds as the deck
begins rewriting the program numbers.
After renumbering is finished, the deck rewinds the
tape automatically to its beginning, then stops.
Q' You can specify any number as the starting number
for the renumbering of programs.
For details, see "FIRST (PGM No.)" on page 25.
Note
The Renumbering function rhay not function correctly when:
• A blank section exists on the tape.
• The interval between two start IDs is less than 18 seconds
(36 seconds in long-play mode).
• A start ID exists within 10 seconds from the end of the
tape.
