9.6SET POST-ROLL

For rehearsal or recording in Auto Record mode, setting a post-roll time causes the tape to go beyond the punch-out point by the specified post-roll time prior to stopping (0 to 25 seconds; default is 5 seconds). Setting post-roll = 0 causes the tape to locate to the cue point (same as disabling post-roll).

Post-roll also affects the time when looping between two points.

Tip: If you have to do a number of takes/overdubs at the same locations, use Auto Return and Auto Record together. Set the Loop Start point to the Punch In point, and the Loop End point to the Punch Out point. Setting a Pre-Roll and Post Roll allows the M20 to be in sync before the punch, and allow the talent to hear their cues.
