Dynamic Backup Status Display
Clear the display and press SHIFT + SLIP (Backup) to interrogate the current status of the backup
process. The current status (percent complete) for the Backup, Tape Mode Convert, and OMF Export
functions in the Backup Menu is dynamically updated and will display progress all the way to completion
as it goes.
Using Registers
There are 21 time code registers (10 memory registers and 11 special-purpose registers) that hold time
code values for immediate or future use. Some of the special-purpose registers are automatically filled
when tracks are loaded (e.g., HEAD, TAIL), others are updated according to the current play or stop time
code reading (e.g., PREV, NEXT), while others (notably memory registers 0 - 9) are entered either
manually or through using CAPT, STO, or RCL functions. The register currently displayed on the lower
line of the LCD is called the active register. By default, the active register is the entry register, which is
the register used to capture manual time code input from the keypad.
Accessing registers is done using a two-keystroke command sequence which consists of the function
(store, recall, capture) and the numeric or shifted numeric key associated with the desired register (i.e., 0 -
9). Before pressing the second key, operations can be canceled by pressing the same function key again or
by pressing CLR, but are typically ended by completing the full key sequence.
Recalling Registers
To recall the time code previously stored into a memory register, press RCL (the RCL LED will flash)
and then press the desired key (0 - 9). The RCL LED will turn off and the time code from that register
will be displayed in the bottom line of the display, with a prefixed heading indicating which register is the
currently displayed (active) register. All special-purpose registers may be recalled similarly, first by
pressing RCL, then SHIFT+the desired numeric key. Special-purpose registers have their names written
on the front panel directly above the numeric key with which they are associated. Note that if RCL is not
pressed first, then pressing SHIFT+ one of these special-purpose register keys — LYNX SYNC, IN,
OUT, HEAD, TAIL, NEXT EDIT, or PREV EDIT — will cause the transport to automatically locate to
the register contents. This is a short cut for RCL + SHIFT+ register key + LOC.
Capturing the Current Time Code
During any transport state (stop, play), the current time code shown on the top line of the LCD display
can be captured into the entry register by pressing the CAPT key. The captured time code can be stored to
one of the ten memory registers for later recall, or to one of the five “writeable” special-purpose registers
(IN, OUT, OFST, LYNX SYNC, TIME). The capture key places the time code value from the top line of
the display into the active time code register in the bottom line of the display. After capturing the time
code value the CAPT LED will flash until a target register key is pressed to place the captured time code
value into that register. Note that pressing CAPT automatically readies the system to store the value into
the target register, as if the STO key had already been pressed. To complete the capture operation, either
press a target register key or press CLR to cancel.
