Checking the recording sound
Playing track 1
When you finish recording, play back the data if the re-
cording is acceptable.
1. Press the REWIND button while holding down the STOP
button.
The FD-4 locates the beginning of the Program (ABS 0)
(LOCATE ABS 0).
2. Turn the RECORD TRACK select key off so that you will not
record data accidentally.
3. Leave the INPUT SEL switch and the SELECTOR in the
monitor section as they are.
4. Press the PLAY button to start playback.
5. Turn the channel 1 MON knob toward [TRK], and gradually
raise the MASTER knob in the monitor section. Use the MON
PAN knob to adjust the stereo image of the monitoring sound.
You can monitor the recorded sound on track 1.
<Note>
Do not raise the MASTER knob too high if you are monitoring through
headphones for a long period of time.
<Notes on playback>
When tracks 1–4 are played, the track signals are routed to the
MON mix section of the channels with the corresponding track num-
bers. That is, track 1 signal is routed to channel 1 MON mix section,
track 2 signal is routed to channel 2 MON mix section, etc.
To monitor the track playback sound, use the corresponding channel’s
MON knob to adjust the level, and use the MON PAN knob to adjust
the stereo image.
<Notes in playback on the Additional track>
Sound recorded on the additional track cannot be played back in
real time while it is located there. In order to playback the addi-
tional track’s sound, the recorded data must be temporarily ex-
changed with one of the real tracks. For explanations on mutually
replacing tracks, please refer to “Track Exchange Function” on page
60. The sound on the additional track exchanged to a real track
can be played back using the same procedures explained in the
left column.
You can also route the track playback sound to the input faders. To
do so, set the INPUT SEL switch to TRK.
<Undo/redo subsequent to exchange>
Even after temporarily exchanging onto a real track, “undo/redo”
can be executed for the purpose of checking the sound recorded
on the additional track, in the same way as at real track recording.
However, “undo/redo” subsequent to track exchange is permis-
sible only once for each function. A second try will be ignored.
* If the UNDO/REDO key is pressed after checking the sound
transferred to the real track, it can be returned to the state
prior to recording onto the additional track.
* If the UNDO/REDO key is pressed subsequent to executing
UNDO, it can be returned to the state prior to exchange of the
additional track and the real track.
<Note>
The Undo/Redo is effective only in the stop mode of the FD-4, the same
as when recording onto a real track..
Undo/Redo will not effective if the following is executed prior to carrying
out UNDO/REDO.
1. When a new recording made.
2. When a new editing is executed.
3. While in the Auto Punch On mode, when the AUTO PUNCH IN point
is passed in the PLAY (or RECORD) mode.
4. When the power is momentarily switched off.
5. When the program is changed.
6. When the disk is ejected.
