Accordingly, inLP mode, if the time is set to 4 seconds, thiswill be the record mute time, even though only2 seconds show on the tape counter.3.5 Digital output formatSets the format of the digital audio data output fromboth digital audio outputs (the AES/EBU XLR con-nector and the COAXIAL RCA connector).The options available are AESEBU (AES/EBU3-1992) format) and Consmr (IEC60958 format).NOTERegardless of this setting, in input monitormode, record pause or record mode, the tapedeck will output in the same format as the dig-ital audio signal received at the input.The default is AESEBU.3.6 Copy prohibitSets the level of copy protection for tapes recordedusing this tape deck.The menu items control the writing of the copy pro-tection bit in the subcode of the recorded material.The options available are: Free (no copy protec-tion is applied to the recorded material), 1gen(one generation only of digital copying is possiblefrom tapes produced when this setting is made), andProhbt (no digital copying at all is possible).The second option is equivalent to the SCMS systemimplemented on consumer DAT recorders.The default value here is Free.3.7 End IDSets whether an END ID is automatically writtenwhenever recording stops.The two options available are: No WR (no ENDID is written when recording stops) and AutoWR(an END ID is automatically written when recordingstops).

Thetape then either stops or rewinds, depending on thesetting made in 3.11, "Auto rewind".The default value is No WR.3.8 Repeat modeThis menu item controls the number of times that theplayback will repeat when the repeat mode is set (see4.1, "REPEAT").The options available are: 10TMS (the playbackwill repeat 10 times) and UnLimt (the playbackwill repeat indefinitely until stopped).The default value is 10TMS.3.9 Pre-roll timeSets a pre-roll time, so that the tape will locate to afixed point before either of the location memorieswhen the appropriate key (LOC 1 [28] or LOC 2[29]) is pressed.
