Start ID
Why 9 seconds or 18 seconds are
necessary for writing a start ID ?
A start ID requires 9 or 18 seconds to allow
to be detected when rewinding/fast-
forwarding a tape. (The speed is 200 times
as fast as that of normal tape operation.)
After the start ID is located, the tape
returns to the beginning of the start ID if
necessary, and playback starts from the
beginning of the selection.
If the signal level stays very low for
more than 3 seconds
If there is a portion of very low volume level
during a selection, a start ID may be written
even in the middle of the selection. An
unwanted start ID can be erased later.
(See page 33).
When the portion between
selections is not clear
The start ID position may not coincide
exactly to the beginning of the selection.
To shift the start ID position, see "Shifting
Start IDs' and Program Numbers Position"
on page 37.
