Section 7 – Monitoring modes

06/97 – 1.00 – 7-3

7.2.1 Arming tracks in pairs

In confidence mode, tracks are armed and
unarmed in pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8).

1) Pressing the

REC FUNCTION

of either track 1 or

track 2, for instance, will arm both tracks 1 and
2.

2) Pressing either track 1 or track 2’s

REC

FUNCTION

key will unarm both tracks

(regardless of which track’s

REC FUNCTION

key

was used to arm the tracks).

3) If confidence mode is turned off, track arming

and unarming can now be carried out on a
track-by-track basis.

Even if tracks were armed in pairs while confi-
dence mode was enabled, when confidence mode
is disabled, they can now be unarmed individually.

7.2.2 Using confidence mode

1) Adjust the recording levels on all armed tracks.

2) Turn off

AUTO MON

mode and make sure that

the ALL INPUT

switch is off.

3) Press the

CONFIDENCE MODE

key [17] once.

The indicator will flash.

4) Press the

CONFIDENCE MODE

key again within

five seconds of pressing it for the first time. The
indicator will light steadily.

If you do not press the

CONFIDENCE MODE

key

twice within five seconds, the indicator will stop

flashing. This is to stop you from entering the con-
fidence mode by accident.

5) To leave confidence mode, press the

CONFIDENCE MODE

key once.

NOTE

Turning on confidence mode unarms any tracks which
have been armed prior to turning on confidence mode.

NOTE

Using confidence mode, it is possible to monitor some
tracks off-tape during recording while monitoring the
input source of others. However, as explained above, the
way in which the confidence mode is implemented
means that the off-tape signals are delayed by 240 milli-
seconds relative to the input source signals. Hence, the
off-tape and source signals will be out of sync, and we
suggest that if “mixed-mode” monitoring is to be carried
out, the same operator should not attempt to listen to
both off-tape and source monitor signals.
