MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Other functions)
As described earlier on page 49, when both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are active,
the pre-roll and post-roll are effective in the loop function.
You can set the pre-roll and post-roll time value by the following procedure.
When both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are
active, the loop starts from "the LOCATE A point minus
the pre-roll time" and ends by "the LOCATE B point
plus the post-roll time". The pre-roll time is initially set
to four seconds, while the post-roll time is set to one
second.
In other words, with the default pre-roll and post-roll
time settings, when executing auto punch in/out, the
MR-8mkII starts playback four seconds before the
punch-in point, and ends playback one second after
the punch-out point.
