7.6 Shuttle operations
The JOG/SHUTTLE key and indicator cand shuttle
wheel/jog dial control
d are used to simulate the
rock and roll location method on open-reel tape
decks, allowing you to locate a point on tape through
audible cues.
As the knob is moved from the center detented posi-
tion, the shuttle speed becomes higher.
The variation in speed is not continuous; but as you
turn the knob from the center position, the shuttle
speed changes, following these values (relative to
normal speed): 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0. The 1.0
speed is only available when shuttling in the forward
direction.
Shuttle operations are only possible when the
JOG/
SHUTTLE
indicator is lit by pressing the JOG/
SHUTTLE
key. While shuttling is active, none of the
transport keys are lit.
If the
DATA ENTRY indicator b is lit when the JOG/
SHUTTLE
key is pressed, the DATA ENTRY indicator
goes out and the dial can then be used for jog
functions.
NOTE
If the jog dial or shuttle wheel remain untouched at the cen-
ter position for 10 seconds, the shuttle mode is disabled,
and the indicator goes off. The
STOP
key lights.
7.6.1 Shuttle monitoring
This is also covered in 5, Monitoring modes.
The default behavior of the DA-98HR is that when
shuttling the tape, you can choose whether to monitor
tape or source signals when shuttling, using the
tracks
INPUT MONITOR switches.
NOTE
When monitoring in shuttle mode, the monitor signal is
attenuated by 12 dB (to avoid possible damage to ears and
speakers).
When AUTO MON (5.1.2, AUTO MON) is on, the
monitoring of any armed tracks will be from the tape,
unless shuttle monitoring is on, in which case, the
monitoring of armed tracks will be source input. The
monitoring of all other (unarmed) tracks can still be
switched on a track-by-track basis using the tracks
INPUT MONITOR
switches.
Shuttle monitoring is only enabled when
AUTO MON
is on. When AUTO MON is off, it has no effect.
1 Select menu group 2, move the cursor to
Shtl Mon, and press ENTER:
2 Use the § and keys to change the setting
between
off and on.
When shuttle monitoring is enabled, the
