As the screen informs you, these are selected using the SYNC and OUT keys. Pressing
SYNC displays this screen:
The effect of this would be as follows:
IN SYNC OUTNOW
IN SYNC OUT
The SYNC point is moved to the NOW time. Of course, if you were to have pressed SYNC
and then OUT together, you would have selected the whole track from the SYNC point to
the end and the whole track would be slipped accordingly. You could also press SYNC
plus IN and OUT together to slip the whole track from start to finish referenced to the
SYNC point. In the above example, however, we have marked a specific edit region to
slip.
You may use SELECT CUE to good effect in this case. Because the action of selecting a
cue marks a SYNC mark at the point you press SELECT CUE, line up the cue at the point
you want to sync and press SELECT CUE. The cue will be selected and the SYNC will be
marked. Now use SYNC TO NOW followed by EXECUTE.

You may also need to slip the edit region’s/cue’s OUT time to the NOW time. Pressing
OUT displays this screen:
The effect of this using the above example would be as follows:
IN SYNC OUTNOW
OUT
IN SYNC
Here, the OUT point has slipped backwards to the NOW time when you press EXECUTE.
However, this function could be used to slip a cue forwards, slipping the cue’s out point to
the NOW time. By pressing OUT and holding it while you press IN, you may slip a track
from its start to the selected OUT time backwards and forwards.
To revert to slipping the IN time to the NOW time after selecting SYNC to NOW or OUT to
NOW, press the IN key.
