Setting one or both of these switches to the Ready position places
the corresponding channel(s) into Record Ready mode, in which
the channel(s) will enter Record mode when the RECORD and PLAY
buttons are pressed simultaneously. Setting this switch to the
Ready position while the MX-55 is in Record mode places the
channel in Record mode immediately.
Setting one or both of switches to the Safe position places the
corresponding channel(s) into Safe mode, in which recording
cannot take place.
