Notes on the RECORD STANDBY status
• Before outputting the REC PLAY command,
use the MECHA STATUS SENSE command
to make sure that the deck is in RECORD
STANBY status.
• It may take a few seconds until the deck
pauses after receiving the RECORD
STANDBY command.
• The deck starts recording immediately when it
receives the PLAY command while in
RECORD STANDBY status. When the deck
receives the RECORD command while in
STOP mode, the audio input of the first
several seconds may be cut off.
• To pause recording, send the PAUSE ON
command (data 002H of command 010H).
The deck does not accept the RECORD
STANDBY command (data 001H of
command 013H) during recording.
• To resume recording when the deck is in
RECORD STANDBY status, send the PLAY
command (data 003H of command 011H) or
PAUSE OFF command (data 003H of
command 010H). The deck does not accept
the RECORD command (data 000H of
command 013H) during recording pause.
Note on the TRACK ERASE command
