In addition to its function as an editing tool, Head Trim allows auditioning of any part of a file by
selecting the desired start time. Pressing CANCEL when done restores any programmed Head
Trim value or 00:00:00:00.
Press the EDIT MENU button and rotate the SELECT control to HEAD. The display will show
the current HEAD pointer for the cut:
HEAD 00:00:00:00
PRESS PLAY OR STOP
NOTE: DigiCart/II Plus has a minimum length of about two seconds for any cut. It is not possible
to use HEAD trim to further reduce this length. Since tight HEAD trims are usually more
important than TAIL trims, always perform the HEAD trim first, and then trim the TAIL if cut
length permits.
