TASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual 99
Location memories
The DM-3200 allows the storage and recall of up to
ten location memories, allowing easy location of the
controlled devices to predetermined cue points.
Selecting the location point display
As explained in “LOCATE DISPLAY mode” on
page 33, the
LOCATE DISPLAY MODE setting in the
OPTION SETUP screen is used to determine whether the
LED time counter shows the location memories as
they are entered, edited and recalled, or whether they
are shown as “popup” panels on the LCD display
screen.
When this section mentions “the display” showing
location memory values, this refers to the display that
has been selected in this option.
NOTE
Depending on the settings for frame display (“Edit
Frames” on page 97), the frames value may or may not
be shown on the display when location memories are
being edited, etc.
Storing a location memory “on the fly”
This procedure allows you to set a location memory,
regardless of whether timecode is currently being
received or not. If timecode is not currently being
received, the value of the location memory is the last
received value as shown on the time counter on the
display.
The value on the time counter, regardless of source,
is stored as the location memory. This may be time-
code or MTC.
1 Press the
MEMO key. The indicator starts to
flash.
2 Press any of the numeric keys, corresponding
to the ten location memories available.
3 The
MEMO indicator stops flashing and the
currently-displayed timecode value is stored in
the location memory corresponding to the
numeric key which was pressed.
Manually entering and editing a location memory
The procedure below can be used for editing existing
location memories or for adding new ones:
1 Press the
EDIT key. The indicator starts to
flash.
2 Press one of the number keys to select the
location memory which will store the value.
The
EDIT indicator lights steadily.
3 Enter the timecode value using the numeric
keypad. The display shows the value, “filling
up” from the right digit towards the left.
Or, if the
EDIT key is pressed again after the
location memory number has been pressed,
the indicator starts to flash again, allowing the
checking and editing of another location mem-
ory.
4 Press the
ENTER key when the timecode value
for the location memory has been entered.
5 Press
EDIT again once to edit another location
memory, or press
EDIT twice to exit the loca-
tion memory editing mode.
If the
CLR key is pressed before the ENTER
key, a location memory entry which has been
made in error is cleared. Pressing
ENTER
stores the cleared memory.
It is possible to switch between the capture, edit and
location procedures at any time.
Location to a location memory
When the location memories have been entered, they
are recalled in the following way:
1 Press the
DIRECT key. The indicator lights.
2 Press any one of the numeric keys, corre-
sponding to the ten location memories.
3 The controlled device locates to the memory
stored in the location memory.
What happens next depends on the PLAY MODE
setting (see “Play Mode” on page 97).
