The REC SELECT - TRACK indicator on the display will flash.
Set the working points:
The pre-roll point - the punch-in/out operation starts playback at this point to give you a count-in.
The punch-in point - recording begins.
The punch-out point - recording ends.
The post-roll point - the punch-in/out operation stops.
3) Fast-wind or rewind the tape to the location where you want to start the pre-roll. A location two or
three measures before the punch-in point usually works well. Press the AUTO PUNCH I/O key
(
M
) to mark the pre-roll point.
Note:
You can skip step 2 at this point. However, you must select a track before you perform the actual
recording.
Note:
When you perform a punch-in/out recording, you need to find a blank section of about 1 second for your
punch-in and punch-out locations. This is because of the gap between the erase head and record/playback head.
Otherwise you may find that you have accidentally erased material that was before or after the re-recorded segment.
Note:
If you press this key while a memory point is stored (either or both memory indicators
a
on the
display are illuminated), the memory point data will be temporarily deleted and the indicator(s) switched
off. When you cancel the Auto Punch function, the memory point data will be restored and the indicator(s)
illuminated again. See "Memory Functions" on page 41.
