Track Exchange
The track exchange function allows you to exchange
tracks (regardless of whether they are real or addi-
tional tracks) on the program in single track unit, 2-
track unit or 8-track unit.
By using this function, you can exchange tracks not
only among real tracks but also between real and
additional tracks, allowing to use tracks effectively.
For example, by exchanging a recorded real track with
an empty additional track, you can transfer data on
a real track to an additional track temporarily, so that
you can record a new material onto the real track.
The track exchange function is also used to check the
REC END point on an additional track.
Performing the track exchange
While the recorder is stopped, press the [TRACK EDIT]
key.
The screen for selecting the track edit type appears.
Use the [JOG] dial to select "Exchange" and then press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting the tracks to
be exchanged. The screen example below shows that
tracks 01 through 08 and tracks 17 through 24 are ex-
changed in 8-track unit.
The left field shows the source track(s), while the right
fields shows the destination track(s).
Use the [JOG] dial to select the source track(s).
Rotating the [JOG] dial changes the options among
single tracks (1 through 24), pair tracks (1&2 through
23&24), 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24.
Use the [CURSOR ] key to highlight (and flashes) the
right field, and use the [JOG] dial to select the destina-
tion track(s).
You can only select the same number of tracks as the
source track(s) selected in step 3 above.
For example, if you select a single track in step 3 above,
you can only select a single track here.
<Note for Track Exchange>
If the selected tracks for the left and right fields are re-
versed, the same track exchange is performed.
For example, "
1-8<->17-24
" and "
17-24<->1-8
" perform the
same track exchange.
The setting in which the same track(s) are selected for
both the left and right fields, such as "
1-8<->1-8
", is invalid.
If you press the
[ENTER/YES]
key with such a setting, the
display shows the message "
Select Err! Hit Any Keys
".
After selecting tracks, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The track exchange function is performed and the dis-
play returns to the Normal screen.
