1)Raise the [MASTER] fader to the "" position. Set the track faders at the lowest position.

2)Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.

3)Raise the track faders (1 through 8) gradually to adjust the playback level and balance.

Also raise the [PHONES VOL] control gradually to adjust the headphones level. (If you are using a powered monitor speaker for monitoring, adjust the level control of the powered speaker.)

<Hint-1>:While listening to the playback sound, adjust panning setting of tracks 1 through 4, as well as try to adjust the inter- nal effects (reverb/delay) (see page 60).

4)When the demo song ends, press the [STOP] key to stop the recorder.

<Hint-2>: To listen to the demo song again:

When the recorder is stopped after listen- ing to the demo song, press the [REWIND] key while holding down the [STOP] key. The recorder instantly moves back to the be- ginning of the demo song (see page 48).

Then pressing the [PLAY] key starts play- back from the beginning of the demo song.

<Note>: The demo song is protected and you can- not overwrite or erase it. Therefore, you cannot make recording in this condition.

If you want to make new recording while keep- ing the demo tape on the hard disk, see "Creat- ing a song for recording" on the next page.

If you do not keep the demo song, carry out ei- ther of the following operations.

Then, start recording (overwrite recording) from the beginning of the demo song, or delete the demo song from the hard disk. If you delete the demo song, create a new song (see the next page) and make recording to the new song.

Because a new song is automatically created after formatting the disk, you can start recording without the need of creating a new song manually.
