Kolpak DA-98 Manual De Usuario

2-4 – 1.00 – 06/97

This switch is used when you wish to record time-
code (either internally generated or from an exter-
nal source) on a dedicated subcode track of the 
DA-98. No audio track is needed to record time-
code. For full details of timecode operation, see 
10, “Operations related to timecode”.

Rewinds the tape at high speed.

If this key is pressed during recording, recording 
will stop and the tape will rewind.

Winds the tape forward at high speed.

If this key is pressed during recording, recording 
will stop and the tape will wind forward.

Cancels any current tape transport mode, and 
stops the tape.

Starts playing the tape. If this key pressed while 
recording is in progress, the DA-98 drops out of 
record mode.

If the 

 key ([35]) is pressed while the 

 key is held down, recording will start on 

all “armed” tracks (see 6.3, “Preparing to 
record”).

If the DA-98 is in play mode, and the 

 key is 

pressed, recording will start immediately on any 
“armed” tracks.

The 

 key also is used to set punch-in 

points during auto punch-in/out operations (see 
6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”).

It is not necessary to use timecode if two DTRS 
units (e.g. DA-88, DA-38 or DA-98 machines) are 
to be operated together. The 

 connections 

will 

ensure synchronization between machines 

(see 9.2, “Machine ID and master/slave settings”)..

When either 

 

or

 

 

is pressed for the 

first time after powering up, or loading a tape, the 
unit first configures itself for the reel hub diameter 
of the tape in use, during which the tape advances 
at low speeds. This takes several seconds. Thereaf-
ter, the transport momentarily goes into stop mode 
before the tape starts fast-winding.
