4.1A Setting Locations
To set a location, press and hold the Set Locate button. While
holding it, press one of the Locate number buttons. The following occurs:
• Set-Locate 0 This resets the tape counter to 00:00, even if the absolute tape
time location is different. (Regardless of where the 00:00 point is set, the counter
will indicate “LEAd” during the first 15 seconds of setup data and “dAtA” during
the next two minutes of set up data at the beginning of the tape). Pressing Set
Locate and Locate 0 while the counter shows 00:00 sets the display to read the
absolute tape time location.
Ejecting a tape with a user set 00:00 will reset the counter to display absolute
tape time of the next tape inserted. Locations 1 and 2, if set, will always reference
the same point on the tape regardless of whether the counter is reset to 00:00. In
other words, once Locations 1 and 2 are set, they reference the embedded time
value in the tape format rather than the counter setting.
• Set-Locate 1 Holding Set Locate then pressing Locate 1 stores the tape location
into a memory buffer for later recall.
• Set-Locate 2 Holding Set Locate then pressing Locate 2 stores the tape location
into a second memory buffer for later recall.
4.1B Autolocating to One of the Three Location Points
• Locate 0 Press this button to have ADAT autolocate to the 00:00 location.
Remember, this can be anywhere on the tape since setting the Locate 0 point
resets the tape counter to 00:00.
• Locate 1 Press this button to have ADAT autolocate to the location currently
stored in the Set-Locate 1 memory buffer.
• Locate 2 Press this button to have ADAT autolocate to the location currently
stored in the Set-Locate 2 memory buffer.
4.1C Shuttling Between Locate 1 and 2
Enabling the Auto 2>1 button causes ADAT to automatically return to the Locate 1
point after reaching the Locate 2 point. This works during playback or record. Here
are some fine points regarding this function:
• If Auto 2>1 is enabled while ADAT is playing and past the Locate 2 point,
autolocation will not occur since ADAT has to pass through the Locate 2 point
before it will look for Locate 1.
• If Locate 2 is reached while ADAT is in record mode, ADAT will punch out before
autolocating to the Locate 1 point.
