recorder, although there are several extra features. The main
transport functions have been designed to be easily and quickly
recognizable by both sight and feel.
3.3A Play
Press the PLAY button to play tape(s) (PLAY BUTTON is lit). The
PLAY button by itself has no effect while playing or formatting.
While locating, pressing PLAY will cause the ADAT to start playing

twice during locating will stop the locate procedure and ADAT will
