A Disc transport buttons

REHE button ...... This button is used to rehearse punch-in/out. During rehearsal the REHE

indicator located above the button will light, and while rehearsal is paused the indicator will blink.

REC button......... This button is used to record. When you press the REC button during

playback, recording will begin from that location on any recordable track(s). (See “Manual punch-in/out”on page 52 for more information.) The REC indicator located above the button will light during recording, and will blink to indicate record pause.

PLAY button .......This button is used to begin normal playback, recording, and rehearsal.

After pressing the REHE button, pressing the PLAY button will enter rehearsal mode. After pressing the REC button, pressing the PLAPY button will begin recording. If you press the PLAY button without pressing the REHE or REC button, normal playback will begin. During playback/ recording/rehearsal, the PLAY indicator located above the button will light. When playback/recording/rehearsal is paused, the PLAY indicator will blink.

PAUSE button.... This button temporarily halts (pauses) playback/recording/rehearsal. After

operation has been paused, pressing the PAUSE button once again will resume playback/recording/rehearsal from that location.
