Setting the pre-roll/post-roll
As described earlier on page 51, when both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are
active, the pre-roll and post-roll are effective in the loop function.
You can set the pre-roll and post-roll time value by the following procedure.
When both the auto punch in/out and loop
modes are active, the loop function starts at
"the LOCATE A point minus the pre-roll time"
and ends at "the LOCATE B point plus the post-
roll time". The pre-roll time is initially set to
four seconds, while the post-roll time is set to
one second.
