You can start the tape’s program numbers from a
value different from

01

by turning the

DATA

dial.

The program number selected with the

DATA

dial

will flash (the flashing will continue for five
seconds).

Confirm the flashing program number with the

ENTER

key. If you press

ENTER

after the program

number has stopped flashing, renumbering will start
from 01.

The tape will rewind to the first START ID, and
rewrite the ID in the same location as previously, but
with the number selected above.

When this is done, the number at the right of the dis-
play will change to the number which is one greater
than the starting program number, and the tape will
move forward to the next START ID and renumber it
in the same way.

While a START ID is being rewritten, the word

RENUM

will flash in the display, and the

PLAY

and

RECORD

indicators will light.

If the current START ID already has a number, this
will be shown to the left of the

#

mark on the

display:

If the current START ID is unnumbered, this is repre-
sented by a pair of dashes in the

PNO

location on the

display.

All program titles are retained during the renumber-
ing process.

The renumbering process continues until the end of
the tape or an END ID is reached.

NOTE

Valid program numbers are from 01 to 99. If
the above procedure is used to select a pro-
gam number at the high end of the range, and
the renumbering increments a program num-
ber above 99, the number will “wrap” to 00.
The number 00 can cause problems when
searching and locating, and this should be
remembered when setting program numbers.
