MR-8HD Owner’s Manual (Advanced playback and locate functions)

Locating to the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point

You can set the desired point of a song as the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point.

The LOCATE A and B points can be used not only for locating, but also for auto punch in/out, play modes and part editing, etc.

Setting the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point

You can set the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point while the recorder is running or stops at the desired point, regardless of time base setting.

<Note>: You cannot set the LOCATE A or B point for a protected song. If you are going to do so, the warning message ("This song is protected!") is shown. To set the LOCATE A or B point for a protected song, release the protection first (see page 101).

<Note>: The LOCATE A point must be earlier than the LOCATE B point. If not, you cannot carry out the auto punch in/out or loop function correctly.

<Tip>: While the time base is set to the bar/beat mode, if you set the "Beat resolution" menu item in the menu mode to "On", you can store the LOCATE A or B point in beat resolution. In other words, the clock digit of the Bar/Beat/Clk value is automatically rounded down or up, so that the clock digit is always "000".

See page 127 for details about how to make the beat resolution active or inactive.
