7-1. Subcode data
A Start ID is code recorded at the beginning of each newly
recorded program and is used to locate the beginning of
that program during search. Start IDs can be recorded
automatically or manually.
Note:
Be sure to leave at least 9 seconds between Start IDs. If
the time between Start IDs is less than 9 seconds, a mal-
function may occur during search. It is recommended to
leave 30 seconds or more to ensure proper operation.
7-2-1. Recording the Start ID automatically
Press the AUTO ID key; "AUTO ID" lights in the display
and the Auto Recording mode is engaged.
·When the AUTO ID key is pressed, the detection level
is shown for about 1 second in the time display (initial
setting is -48 dB).
… To release the Auto Recording mode, press the AUTO
ID key again.
… Start IDs are recorded in the Auto Recording mode
under the following conditions.
* A signal exceeding the detection level is input after
recording starts
* A signal below the detection level continues for 3 or
more seconds during recording and is then followed by
a signal exceeding the detection level.
7-2. Start ID
… The detection level can be adjusted to suit the recording
source.
(1) While holding the SHIFT key pressed, press the
AUTO ID key as many times as necessary to select
the desired level (-36 dB, -42 dB, -48 dB, -54 dB,
dd*).
(2) Release the SHIFT key to determine the level.
* When "dd" is selected, the ID is recorded by using
information from the digital signal interface
(SPDIF) input from the digital input connector.
“ When a DAT deck is connected to the digital
input connector, Start IDs and Skip IDs are
recorded corresponding to the Start IDs and Skip
IDs recorded on the DAT.
“ When a CD player is connected to the digital
input connector, Start IDs are recorded corre-
sponding to the track numbers on the CD.
“ When a unit other than a DAT deck or a CD
player is connected to the digital input connector
or analog input connectors, the "-54 dB" setting
is used.
