PUNCH-IN or INSERT Recording

Punch-in Procedure

Using the remote footswitch (RC-30P)

There are 2 ways to initiate the punch-in recording. The first is with the transport RECORD button, and the second is with the optional footswitch.

Perform the "Preliminary" on the previous page, if you haven't yet done so.

Punching-in/out with RECORD

1Check to see that the track 2's REC indicator is blinking showing the track is in the Rec Ready mode. Locate the tape a little behind the expected punch-in point. Then press PLAY.

2When you reach JUST BEFORE the error, hold PLAY and push RECORD. The REC indicator that was blinking will glow solid and track 2 enters the Record mode.

3To punch-out of record, push STOP (or PAUSE). The REC indicator that was lit solidly blinks to indicate that recording is over.

RC-30P

If you are recording alone and are too busy playing an instrument to push the switches, the optional remote footswitch really comes in handy.

1Plug the RC-30P into the REMOTE PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the front of the 414 MKII.

2Check that the track 2's REC indicator is blinking, and locate the tape to a point a little before the error, then press PLAY.

3When you reach JUST BEFORE the error, press the footswitch, and the REC indicator that was blinking will glow steadily to indicate the track is in the Record mode.

4To punch-out of record, press the footswitch again. The REC indicator will start blinking again.

5To stop the tape, press STOP.
