Names and Functions of Parts
!¶ RHSL (Rehearsal) key
This key has two functions:
• Record rehearsal (rehearsal function)
Press during record pause mode to cause the
indicator to blink and set this unit to operate as if it
were recording, without actually recording. This is
called rehearsal mode. (Rehearsal mode can also be
activated by pressing RHSL when the AUTO
PUNCH key is lit.)
During record rehearsal, all other operations will
function as if the unit was recording. This provides a
convenient way to practice without actually
recording.
Press p STOP to cancel the rehearsal mode.
Rehearsal mode, however, is not activated when
recording a new song.
• Locate point adjustment (locate adjust function)
Press to light the indicator and repeat the section just
before and after the current locate point. The repeat
time is specified in the roll time setting. Turning the
JOG dial during rehearsal lets you adjust the position
of the locate point.
Press p STOP to cancel the locate adjust mode.
See “Correcting the position of the locate point”
(page 32) for details.
Note
During locate adjust mode the counter value does not
change to reflect the position of the playback sound.
Use JOG or SHUTTLE to adjust the counter value/position
of the respective locate point. However, if you do not
register the new value as a mark point it will be erased after
the adjustment.
!• UNDO key

operation and returns the data to its original status.
