You can locate (including the skip locate function) to a desired time assigned to any of MEMORY points 04 through 99.

MEMORY points holding time data can be used in common by all audio files, however, you cannot locate to a MEMORY point which holds a time greater then the REC END time (except for "Tape mode" files).

If you are going to locate to a such point, the display shows "Out of Zone!" and the operation is ignored. In the following example, if file 002 is currently selected, you cannot locate to MEMORY 07 or 08.

In other words, you can locate to MEMORY points 04 through 06 and 09 through 11. If file 002 is currently selected, you can locate all MEMORY points 04 through 11).
