Writing Sub Codes

About Sub Codes

In the DAT format, sub codes (i.e., control codes such
as start IDs and program numbers) can be written on
the tape along with the audio signal. These sub codes
allow you to use AMS (see page 14) or Direct Access
(see page 14). Since sub codes are written on the tape
separately from the audio signal, they have no effect on
the audio signal.

Start IDs
Start IDs indicate the start of a track, and therefore
allow you to locate the position of a track precisely.
The start IDs are 9 seconds in length (18 seconds in
long-play mode) to enable easy detection during fast-
forwarding or rewinding.
Program numbers
Program numbers serve as track numbers. Occupying
the same position as start IDs, a program numbers
allow you to locate specific tracks.
Notes
• The p and P buttons do not work during the writing of
sub codes.
• Writing and erasing of start IDs and renumbering of
program numbers are impossible if the record-protect hole
on the DAT cassette is open (see page 7).
Writing Start IDs During
Recording
You can write start IDs either manually or
automatically anytime during recording.
