To clear the registered IN/OUT points, press the AUTO REC key
(25) again to extinguish the LED inside the key (PUNCH IN/OUT
LED (25) will also be extinguished.
When the punch-in and punch-out cue points have been
entered, confirm their accuracy by ear—this is your ultimate
reference. Now you’re ready to rehearse.
During rehearsal, in the section prior to the punch-in point,
you'll be listening to tape monitor. At the punch-in point, the
monitor signal automatically switches to input (new ‘‘live’’
performance), and at the punch-out point, it reverts to tape
monitor again.
You can rehearse without worry of altering anything already
recorded because the rehearsal signal is in the monitor only;
it will not be recorded.
