When the transport is stopped, pressing this key fast-rewinds the transport. During play- back, pressing this key rewinds the transport at 5x speed with audible cue.

If you press this key while holding down the [STOP] key, the LR16 locates to the beginning of the project (ABS 0).

[RECORD] key

If you press the key alone, the recorder enters record ready mode. The key starts flashing while the track meter for a record-armed track on the display shows the input level of the track.

If you press the [PLAY] key while holding down the [RECORD] key, the LR16 performs as follows depending on whether the LR16 is in new project mode or not.

•When the LR16 is in new project mode:

The LR16 creates a new project and starts recording.

•When the LR16 is not in new project mode:

The LR16 starts recording to the current project in insert mode.

In this condition, you can make additional recording to the project or editing such as punch in/out.

[STOP] key

Stops the transport except when memory play is being performed.

If you press the [REWIND] or [F FWD] key while holding down the [STOP] key, the LR16 performs as follows.

• [STOP] key + [REWIND] key

The LR16 locates to the beginning of the project (ABS 0).

• [STOP] key + [F FWD] key

The LR16 locates to the recording end position (REC END).

[PLAY] key

Starts playback of the current project.

<Note>: If you start playback of the project while no track is record-armed (i.e. all the [REC TRACK SELECT] keys are unlit), the LR16 automatically stops at the recording end po- sition (REC END). If you start playback while one or more tracks are record-armed, the LR16 automatically stops at 24h00m00s. If you start playback at any position after the recording end position (REC END), the LR16 locates to REC END and stops.
