To always enter Play mode after completing a locate, press Auto Play (its button lights). This button can be pressed at any time. To cancel, press Stop or some other transport control before the location is complete.

9.4LOOP BETWEEN START AND END LOCATE POINTS

(AUTO RETURN)

You can set up “loop points” (start and end locate points; see section 9.1), and program the M20 to automatically return to the start locate point after reaching the end locate point. This works during play or record. The start and end locate points are chosen from the possible 100 locate points in memory, and default to locations 01 and 02 respectively.

To enable Auto Return, press the Auto Return button at any point (stopped, playing, or recording) as long as the tape is before the end point. Enabling Auto Return when the tape is past the end point has no effect.

If the end point is reached while recording, the M20 will punch out before rewinding to the start point.

Turning off Auto Return while it’s returning to the start point initiates normal Rewind mode.
