transport momentarily goes into stop mode before

the tape starts fast-winding.

STOP key

Cancels any current tape transport mode, and stops

the tape. If pressed in chase mode, cancels the mode

and stops the tape.

PLAY key

Starts playing the tape. If this key pressed while

recording is in progress, the DA-78HR drops out of

record mode.

RECORD key

If the

PLAY

key C is pressed while the

RECORD

key is held down, recording will start on all “armed”

tracks (5.2.1, “Preparing to record”).

If the DA-78HR is in play mode, and the

REC

key is

pressed, recording will start immediately on any

“armed” tracks.

The

RECORD

key also is used to set punch-in points

during auto punch-in/out operations (5.6, “Punch-in

and punch-out”).

DATA/LEVEL control

When the

SHUTTLE/DATA

key is pressed, the indica-

tor will light. The

DATA/LEVEL

control will then be

active as a shuttle control. Turning the control to the

right provides forward cueing and turning it to the

left provides reverse cueing, similar to “rock and

roll” on open-reel tape decks. For details, see 7.7,

“Shuttle operations”.

When the

SHUTTLE/DATA

key is pressed in conjunc-

tion with the

SH IF T

key, the

DATA/LEVEL

control is

also used as a data entry control to make various set-

tings, including the sub-mixer settings. See 4.3.7,

“Using the DATA/LEVEL knob to set values” and

7.4, “Sub-mixer” for details.

2.3 System control keys

The following keys all provide access to more

advanced functions of the DA-78HR. Many of them

are also used in the menu system to view and set sys-

tem parameters. See 4, “Menu interface, etc.” for

details.

Many of them also serve two functions, as shown by

the blue “shifted” legends below the unshifted leg-

ends (shown here in parentheses). See 4.2, “The

SHIFT key” for details.

SHIFT key and indicator

Controls the behavior of the other keys (see 4.2, “The

SHIFT key” for details).

RHSL (DELAY) key and indicator

This key and indicator allow selection of the

rehearsal mode in auto punch-in and out (5.6,

“Punch-in and punch-out”).

When the DA-78HR is in shift mode, this key allows

the setting of track delays (7.3, “Track delay”).

AUTO IN/OUT (OFFSET) key and

indicator

This key and indicator allow automatic punch-in and

punch out following rehearsal (5.6, “Punch-in and

punch-out”).

When the DA-78HR is in shift mode, this key allows

the setting of chase offsets (8.3, “Machine offset”

and 9.6.2, “Timecode offset”).

CLEAR (PRE ROLL) key

This key defeats the rehearsal and auto modes during

auto punch-in and out (see 5.6, “Punch-in and punch-

out”). It can also be used to cancel a format operation

(5.1, “Formatting a tape”).

When the DA-78HR is in shift mode, this is used to

set pre- and post-roll times (5.6.4, “Editing the pre-

roll and post-roll times” and 7.1.3, “Setting the loca-

tion pre-roll time”).

VARI SPEED / PITCH key and

indicator

Used to set the varispeed (pitch) amount, and to turn

the function on and off (see 7.6, “Vari speed (pitch

control)”.

ALL INPUT (

▼

) key and indicator

This key is used to switch the monitoring mode so

that the outputs mirror the inputs (see 6.1, “ALL

INPUT”).

AUTO MON (

▲

) key and indicator

This key is used to change the monitoring mode to

change automatically in punch operations (see 6.2,

“AUTO MON”).

In menu mode and when editing parameters, this acts

as a key to select and change (increment) parameters.

When used with the

SHIFT

key, it acts as a cursor

key.
