Settingthepre-roll/post-roll

As described earlier on page 51, when both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are active, the pre-roll and post-roll are effective in the loop function.

You can set the pre-roll and post-roll time value by the following procedure.

When both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are active, the loop function starts at "the LOCATE A point minus the pre-roll time" and ends at "the LOCATE B point plus the post- roll time". The pre-roll time is initially set to four seconds, while the post-roll time is set to one second.
