<Remember!>

(ABS 0), playback starts from the beginning of the program,
regardless of pressing the

This chapter describes the cueing/digital scrubbing function, vari pitch control, auto functions, program
management and track editing (such as copy/paste, move/paste, erase, track exchange, etc.).
This section describes the cueing feature for cueing sound during the F FWD or REWIND process.
Shuttle Cueing
Shuttle cueing at a cue speed between 1-64x is possible
by turning the
[JOG] dial while the [SHIFT] key is
depressed when the recorder is playing. The speed
varies according to the degree the dial is turned.
1. Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.
2. Turn the [JOG/SHUTTLE] dial to the left/right while the
[SHIFT] key is depressed.
* Turn the [JOG] dial to the right to shuttle cue in the
FORWARD direction.
Turn the
[JOG] dial to the left to shuttle cue in the
REWIND direction.
* The cueing speed varies from 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x
and 64x according to the degree (angle) in which the
[JOG] dial is turned. The current cueing speed appears
on the LCD.
* Shuttle cueing continues as long as the [SHIFT] key is
depressed, even when the [JOG] dial isn’t used.
3. Lift finger from [SHIFT] key to return to the original play
speed (1x).
2. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of the track to scrub.
The level envelope of the selected track appears. The first
time you enter the scrub mode after turning on the power,
the magnification is set to x 1.
Digital scrubbing with the [SCRUB] key
To enter the Digital Scrub Mode, press the [SCRUB] key
while the recorder is in the STOP state to cue at 0-1x
speed without any change in musical key.
Digital scrub is possible for each track. The level
envelope (volume wave form) of that track appears. This
feature is effective when it is necessary to conduct a
pinpoint search of the beginning of a song or a point
(location) between songs.

state.
The scrub mode is activated and the following display

3. Press the [PLAY] key to return to the original play speed
(1x speed).
Magnification
Tips: How to change the zoom magnification
You can select the zoom magnification by using the [F FWD]
and [REWIND] keys. Each press of the [F FWD] key increases
the magnification from x 01 -> x 02 -> x 04 -> x 08 -> x 16 .
Each press of the [REWIND] key decreases the magnifica-
tion. The magnification setting is global for all tracks, and
is shown at the bottom of the display. Also, when the mag-
nification is not set to x 01, you can temporarily
change it to x 01 while holding down the
[SHIFT] key.
Note that the magnification is resets to x 01 when turn-
ing off the power.
