REAL-TIME
COUNTER
AND
LOCATOR FUNCTIONS
4.1
Real-time counter
The real-time counter always displays the
playing
time
that has
e
lapsed
s
ince the sta
rt
of the tape. lt
is,
theref ore,
possible
to m e-
morize
the
time of a tape location and to subsequently
reposi-
tion the tape at this
location. The tape counter
is
also
able to
compute the current tape
location
of
a newly inserted
cassette
that
has not
been
rewound to the start in PLAY
mode. lt is essen-
tial,
howevel
that the
correct total cassette
playing
time has
been entered
(by pressing
the PLAY TIME
l33l
button).
The
computation
will be incorrect
if a wrong
playing
time
is
selected.
The counter read-out
is reset
each time a
new cassette
is insert-
ed
(display
[11]
shows:
--:--).
lf this sign is displayed
when a cassette is inserted this
means
that
the
counter
reading
has not
been computed
yet.
Howevet
this
is
done automatically
when the recorder
is
started
tn
PLAY
or RECORD
mode. The computation takes approximately 5
to
B
seconds.
During the computation time the selected
total cas-
sette
playing
time is shown on the display
[11]
for verification.

Locator functions
Any address stored in the LOCl or LOC2 address
memories
can be located from any operating mode
(except
RECORD) by
spooling. This can
be
particularly
useful for recordings that
have
to be repeated
(fast
search
of the
starting
position),
or
for learn'
ing
purposes
if the same
part
has to
be
replayed
several
times.
4.2.1 Entering the locator address
Once the cassette
has
been
inserted
and the real time

ed. the address memories LOCl and LOC2 can
