Skip IDs indicate tracks or recorded portions that are to be skipped while playing. Skip IDs are 1 second in length (2 seconds in long-play mode). An end ID is 9 seconds in length (18 seconds in long-play mode). When an end ID is detected during playback, playback stops and the deck rewinds the tape to its beginning. If an end ID is detected during fast-forwarding, the tape stops at that point and deck becomes ready for recording from that point. You can write and erase an end ID only with the optional remote RM-D750. The OPEN/CLOSE 6, STOP p and PAUSE P buttons do not work during the writing or erasing of sub codes.
