92 ADAT XT20 Reference Manual

If the master’s FORMAT icon is on, and you are extending the format,

and the slave tape is formatted:

• If the slave’s FORMAT icon is on, the slave autolocates to the

same time as the master, then format extension begins with the master.

• If the slave’s FORMAT icon is off, the slave autolocates to the

same time as the master and plays or records in sync.

✪

To properly extend the format, the master and slaves should be playing

in sync before punching into format record.

MASTER FORMAT DISABLED

If the master’s FORMAT icon is off and initiates a RECORD command

anywhere in the tape and the slave’s FORMAT icon is off:

• If the slave tape is unformatted, the slave plays, but the TIME

counter reads “noFO” (no format) while flashing the FORMAT icon.

• If the slave tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the

same time as the master and plays or records in sync,

To properly punch in, the master and slave should be in sync before

punching. Otherwise, the master will punch in immediately, but the

slaves won’t punch in until sync is achieved.

MASTER FORMAT DISABLED, FORMAT EXTEND

If the master initiates recording from the audio portion of the tape and

the slave’s FORMAT icon is on:

• If the slave tape is unformatted, the slave plays, but the TIME

counter reads “noFO” (no format) while flashing the FORMAT icon.

• If the slave’s tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the

same time as the master and then format extension begins.

If the master initiates recording from the start of the tape and the

slave’s FORMAT icon is on, start-to-finish formatting begins regardless

of whether the slave tape is formatted or not.
