Section 7 – Monitoring modes
06/97 – 1.00 – 7-3
7.2.1 Arming tracks in pairs
In confidence mode, tracks are armed and
unarmed in pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8).
1) Pressing the
REC FUNCTION
of either track 1 or
track 2, for instance, will arm both tracks 1 and
2.
2) Pressing either track 1 or track 2’s
REC
FUNCTION
key will unarm both tracks
(regardless of which track’s
REC FUNCTION
key
was used to arm the tracks).
3) If confidence mode is turned off, track arming
and unarming can now be carried out on a
track-by-track basis.
Even if tracks were armed in pairs while confi-
dence mode was enabled, when confidence mode
is disabled, they can now be unarmed individually.
7.2.2 Using confidence mode
1) Adjust the recording levels on all armed tracks.
2) Turn off
AUTO MON
mode and make sure that
the ALL INPUT
switch is off.
3) Press the
CONFIDENCE MODE
key [17] once.
The indicator will flash.
4) Press the
CONFIDENCE MODE
key again within
five seconds of pressing it for the first time. The
indicator will light steadily.
If you do not press the
CONFIDENCE MODE
key
twice within five seconds, the indicator will stop
flashing. This is to stop you from entering the con-
fidence mode by accident.
5) To leave confidence mode, press the
CONFIDENCE MODE
key once.
NOTE
Turning on confidence mode unarms any tracks which
have been armed prior to turning on confidence mode.
NOTE
Using confidence mode, it is possible to monitor some
tracks off-tape during recording while monitoring the
input source of others. However, as explained above, the
way in which the confidence mode is implemented
means that the off-tape signals are delayed by 240 milli-
seconds relative to the input source signals. Hence, the
off-tape and source signals will be out of sync, and we
suggest that if “mixed-mode” monitoring is to be carried
out, the same operator should not attempt to listen to
both off-tape and source monitor signals.
