6-2-2 Eliminating Noise—Spot
Erase
You can eliminate noise from the tape using the spot
erase function.
First you specify the section, then the unit stores the
section in the sound memory. After designating the
exact point at which the noise is to be eliminated, this
unit records a muting signal on the section.
This method enables the unit to eliminate noise within
a few milliseconds. Before reforming spot erase, make
sure that the time code is recorded on the tape.
