Actual Auto Punch In/Out

When the tape reaches the preset punch-out point, you will be able to hear the old material existing on track 2, letting you check that the new material is smoothly followed by the old one. The RECORD LED will turn off, indicating that the "dry-run" record is over.

After 3 seconds of play ("postroll") the tape will automatically rewind, stopping at the START point, so you can again go through the rehearsal procedure.

●To change the punch-in and out points, press CLEAR, and restart from the beginning.

●If you want to quit Rehearsal mode for any reason, press CLEAR. "RHSL" goes out and the start, punch-in and out points are cleared from memory.

-Practice the performance until you are sure that you will get it right when actually recording. Remember, punching-in over existing material erases the original signal.

-When the REHEARSAL key is pressed during playback, the counter readout at which the key is pressed is stored as the START point.

-You can store the Punch-In/Out or Rehearsal point also using the optional remote footswitch (RC-30P).

Suggestion: During the punch-in setting or the rehearsal process, if you press the footswitch after STOP, the tape will rewind to your START point.

-Rehearsal function is not available while the 424 MKIII is in the locate, repeat or record mode.

-Locate or repeat function is not available while storing Punch- In/Out points in memory.

-After the Punch-In/Out points have been stored in memory, the 424 MKIII cannot enter the record mode (whereby RECORD LED blinks or glows).

-If you press any of the transport keys during storage of the Rehearsal (Punch-In/Out) points, the 424 MKIII will start operation corresponding to the key pressed. However, only when the REW key is pressed, the tape will rewind, stopping at that Start point.

Once you're sure your performance and the in/out points selected are correct, you're ready to actually record the insert using the Auto Punch-In/Out feature.

Before proceeding to the next step, #8, check to see that the RHSL indicator is on solid in the display, showing that your punch-in and out points are in memory, and that all REC indicators beneath the meters are off (except the one for the punch-in track), showing that all non-punch-in tracks are in Safe mode.
