9.2 DEFERRED PLAY AND RECORD
To automatically enter Play mode after locating, press Play before a locate completes. To
cancel while tape is moving, press Stop, Rewind, FF, or Search.
To automatically enter Record mode after locating, press Play and Record before a locate
completes. To cancel while tape is moving, press Play, Stop, Rewind, FF, or Search.
9.3 PLAY-AFTER-LOCATE (AUTO PLAY)
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.
9.4 LOOP 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.
