Locating the point at which to begin
recording
The absolute time is automatically written
simultaneously while recording.

from the beginning of the tape, and is useful in
determing the elapsed time from the beginning of the
tape. When recording on a partially recorded tape,
locate the end of the previous recording and start
recording from that point (this is to avoid creating an
unrecorded segement). Once the absolute time is

automatically, refer to page 27 for “Recording blank
segment—REC MUTING”.
