To arm individual track sends press the REC keys for the required tracks.
The integral LEDs will flash red. The red LEDs either side of the corresponding Access keys will also flash red for
armed Tracks.
Each press of a REC key will toggle the associated track between armed and safe. If a track send can not be
armed (e.g. if the track send is not port routed to a tape machine) then the LEDs will not flash.
If a track send is half of a stereo pair that can not be separated (e.g. on a DAT machine) then the other leg will
also be armed.
To arm all track sends press the ALL REC key.
To make all tracks safe (disarm all tracks) press the ALL SAFE key.
When the machine is put into Record all the flashing LEDs for armed tracks will illuminate solid red.
Shuttle and Jog
Shuttle
Shuttle is used to run the transport forwards or backwards at variable rates.
To use Shuttle press the SHUTTLE key.
The key will flash.
Rotate the jog wheel in the required direction
The SHUTTLE key will illuminate steady.
Initially, clockwise will shuttle forwards and anti-clockwise will shuttle backwards. The faster or further the wheel
is moved, the faster the transport will shuttle.
If the maximum shuttle speed is exceeded then the transport will go into fast forward or rewind, as appropriate.
The jog wheel will still have control of the transport.
The shuttle speed can be reduced by moving the jog wheel slowly in the opposite direction.
