The XT hand-held remote provides the following functions:
• Transport functions: Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play and Record.
• Autolocation functions: Locate 1, Locate 2, Locate 3, Locate 4, Set Locate and
Auto Loop
• Track functions: Auto Record and Rehearse.
All buttons function as if pressed from the XT’s front panel.
The [AUTO LOOP] button, which does not exist on the XT front panel, toggles both
Auto Play and Auto Return functions on and off simultaneously with one button press.
Note: If you wish to enable the Auto Play function without the Auto Return function
being enabled (i.e. without looping), you can initiate a deferred play with the Play
button — that is, press any of the [LOCATE 1] – [LOCATE 4] buttons followed by the
[PLAY] button.
To use the XT Remote, plug it into the [LOCATE/PLAY/LRC] jack or the [PUNCH
IN/OUT] jack, depending on which one is not being used. If connected to the master
XT in a multiple ADAT system, the XT Remote can control the entire chain of ADATs.
J If using a normally open footswitch, the footswitch and remote control can be
interchanged, or used simultaneously with a Y-cord, without restarting the XT
(powering down and powering up). However, if using a normally closed footswitch,
the XT should be restarted after switching from footswitch to remote control or vice-
versa.
