8) After the post-roll period, the tape will return
to the pre-roll point (the punch-in point minus
the pre-roll offset).

keys to select the
“field” (hours, minutes, seconds or frames) that
you want to edit, and use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to change the values.
You can also use the function keys to enter the

6.6.4 Editing the pre-roll and post-roll
times
As shipped from the factory, the DA-98 will posi-
tion the tape 5 seconds before the punch-in point,
whether this has been set by you, or set automati-
cally (as described above).
The post-roll is factory set to 3 seconds. You can
alter both these times using the following method:
1) Enter menu group 1 and move the cursor to the
menu option:
2) Press
ENTER
to set the pre-roll and post-roll
times:
3) Use the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
keys to position the
cursor by the “field” (minutes or seconds) that
you want to change and use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to alter the value.
You can also use the function keys to enter the
value directly, as described in 5.2.2, “Using the
function keys as number keys”.
Since there is little point in setting pre- and post-
roll times to frame accuracy, you can only set these
values to second accuracy.
The minimum values you can set are 5 seconds
and the maximum value is 59 minutes 59 seconds.
Any punch operation from now will take your set-
ting for pre-roll and use it when locating the tape
to the punch-in point.
For example, if your pre-roll time has been set to
10 seconds (00:00:10:00), and the punch-in point
is at 00:06:03:12, the tape will locate to
00:05:53:12 when starting rehearsal or punch-in.
NOTE
If you want to alter the pre-roll and post-roll times, see
6.6.4, “Editing the pre-roll and post-roll times”. The
punch-in and punch-out points will remain the same
while you change the pre- and post-roll times.
NOTE
You can also use this process to edit punch points which
have been set “on the fly
”
).
