6.5.8 Repeated entry of location points

You can also use the

key [39] to store a

series of location points as a tape is played.

1) Recall a location memory.

The location memory immediately after the
recalled memory will be overwritten, so make sure
that it is a location you do not want to keep.

2) Start playing (or recording) the tape.

The order of steps 1) and 2) can be reversed.

3) Press the

CUE STR

key.

The current tape location will be stored into the
location memory following the one you have just
recalled. No confirmation is necessary.

The

LOCATE TIME/VALUE

display will now

show the value of the time just stored in the loca-
tion memory, and the

MEMORY NO.

display will

show the memory number in which it has been
stored.

Pressing the

CUE STR

key again will store the

new tape location into the next memory location.

These location memories can be recalled and
edited in the same way as location memories
entered in any other way. There is also one level of
undo available to replace one location memory

which may have been entered accidentally. See
6.7.4, “Undo function” for details. Note that there
is no “redo” function available.

6.5.9 Editing a location memory

edit it, either by replacing the contents with a
value entered from the numeric keypad or using
the jog/shuttle controls:

1) Use the

DATA INC/DEC

key [27] to set the jog/

shuttle controls into data editing mode.

2) Use the

JOG

dial [28] to “nudge” the values

displayed on the

LOCATE TIME/VALUE

display [15].

The value will flash.

3) Confirm the entry with the

STR

key [17].

The

LOCATE TIME/VALUE

display will stop

flashing, and the

MEMORY NO.

display [14] will

start to flash.

4) Press the

ENTER/LOAD

key to store the edited

value to the same location memory, or the
numeric keypad, followed by the

ENTER/

LOAD

key to store the edited value to a

different location.
