A desired selection can be called up or time information can be displayed using the sub codes, for example. The sub codes such as start ID, program number, skip ID, end ID and absolute time are available on this unit. A) · Sub codes are written on the tape separately from the audio signals, so the audio signals are not affected. · Sub codes, except the absolute time, can be rewritten after the audio signal recording has been completed. The recorded audio signals are not affected by the rewritten sub codes. The absolute time is recorded automatically at the same time the audio signal is recorded. The absolute time allows you to confirm the elapsed time from the beginning of the tape.
