Zero return

When the time base is set to "time counter", you can reset the time counter to "0m00.000s" at any point. By resetting the time counter at the de- sired point, you can easily locate there using the zero return function.

For example, if you make recording repeatedly to different tracks from the same point, by reset- ting the time counter at the point you start re- cording, you can easily locate the starting point anytime.

<Notes>

•You can reset the time counter only while the time base is set to "time counter". You cannot reset the counter when the time base is set to ABS or Bar/Beat.

•When turning the power off then on, the time counter shows "0m00.000s" at the beginning of the song. Therefore, if you do not reset the time counter, the time counter matches the ABS time.

•When resetting the time counter at the desired point, the time values at the beginning and recording end of the song are changed.

For example, if you reset the time counter at the recording end of the song whose length is 3 minutes and 3 seconds, the time counter at the beginning of the song shows "- 3m03.000s".
