With conventional analog audio tapes, the tape portion on
which no recording ever has been made and the portion on
which a recording has been made but the sound is muted
are treated the same, since no sound can be heard from
these portions.
However, with DAT cassette, you should know that the two
kinds of "no sound" portions must definitely be
distinguished one from the other.

Sound muted section
Important
When recording, be certain that no blank section is left on
the tape. It blank sections remain on the tape. search
operations using the AMS buttons, for exampie, may take
quite a jong time or the absolute time 1s not written
correctly.
Difference between the blank section and sound-muted
portion
When you record, a track format is constructed on the
recorded area, even if the sound is muted during
recording. On the blank section, since no recording is
applied, there is no track format.

blank sections should be left on the tape when recording

end search function (page 24) to locate the beginning of
the blank section. This will avoid leaving a blank section
If absolute time codes cannot be written
If the continunty of the time codes 1s broken by a blank
section, absolute time codes will not be recorded during
later recording operations.
In this case, start recording from the beginning of the tape.
