[. . . ] However, the automatic numbering of IDs will be out of sequence if a START ID is added between existing IDs, or if an ID is written before a valid previouslyrecorded START ID has been read from tape. Use the renumber function to restore the sequence (see 4. 4, "ID markers (START, SKIP, END, CHAR and renumbering)". The level which will trigger the automatic writing of a START ID, and the length of the silence to precede it may be set from the menu items (see 3. 2, "Auto ID level" and 3. 3, "Auto ID time"). [24] DISPLAY Regardless of the current counter mode set by [21], this key is used to display other information. The options available, which are accessed by repeated presses of this key, are: · Program number and Margin mode-- where the current program number and margin in decibels are displayed: PNO ABS MARG 0 0H 2 3M 0 8S 0 7 6. 3 dB · Frames mode-- where frames are displayed as well as hours, minutes, and seconds. there are 100 frames in every three seconds; 33 in the first second, 33 in the next, and 34 in the third. The pattern then repeats itself. ABS [27] ENTER This key is used to confirm entries made in the menu and EDIT settings. It is also used, when in EDIT mode (see 4, "Advanced functions"), to enter the EDIT functions). When recording subcode (START, SKIP, END IDs and CHAR title information), it is used to start the writing of this information to tape. 0 0H 2 3M 0 8S _ 3 2F P 0 9 · Block Error Rate mode-- the last digits of the display show E---- when out of play mode. When playback starts, the error rate for either the A or B track is displayed. The A or B track is selected using the MENU key while the error rate display mode is active. ABS [28] MENU Repeated presses of this key (when the display is not in Block Error mode) cycle through the different options available in the menu. These options are explained in detail in 3, "Menu functions". 0 0H 2 3M 0 8S A 0 0 1 7 TASCAM DA-45HR 15 2 - Parts of the tape deck [29] LOC 1 Pressing this key will locate the tape to the first memory location (set with this key in shifted mode). If the tape is playing when this key is pressed, the tape will resume playing when the location is reached, otherwise it will stop. When the key is pressed, the value stored in the first location memory will flash on the right side of the display (frames, program numbers and margin will disappear while the tape is locating, and be restored once location is complete). If a pre-roll time has been set in the menu, pressing this key will locate to the memory location minus the pre-roll time. The format of data received (AES/EBU or SPDIF) is automatically detected. [35] WORD IN and THRU (AUTO TERM) These BNC connectors provide an input for an external word clock (selected using the CLOCK switch [4] set to the WORD position) at the IN connector, which is re-transmitted from the THRU connector. There is no need to provide any termination for the THRU connector if no connection is made to it. [36] CONTROL I/O This 15-pin 'D'-sub connector is used for connection to a suitably-equipped controller. As well as the mode described in the table below, this connector can also be used as a serial connector. The pinouts of this connector are given below: Pin number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [30] LOC 2 This key functions in exactly the same way asLOC 1 [29] above, except that the second location memory is used rather than the first. [31] SINGLE PLAY The single play mode, when active, will play only one program , i. e. When single play mode is active, the display will show SINGLE PLAY. Signal Direction Function STOP FWD PLAY F.

[. . . ] If PAUSE is pressed rather than PLAY, the tape will be located to the start of the program and the deck will enter pause mode. When editing and entering titles, these keys may be used as a convenient way of entering characters. [63] MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 keys Equivalent to the shifted LOC 1 [29] and LOC 2 [30] on the main unit. [64] SAMPLING MONITOR key Equivalent to pressing the RECORD key on the main unit once (see 17, "RECORD key").
