MR-8HD Owner’s Manual (Other functions)

Pre-roll/post-roll time setting

As described earlier on page 47, 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 starts from "the LOCATE A point minus the pre-roll time" and ends by "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.

In other words, with the default pre-roll and post-roll time settings, when executing auto punch in/out, the MR-8HD starts playback four seconds before the punch-in point, and ends playback one second after the punch-out point.
