Punch in/out using the keys on the top panel

You can make punch in/out manually by using the [RECORD] and [PLAY] keys on the MR16 top panel.

<Note>: The punch in/out operation by yourself using the keys on the top panel sometimes prevents you from concentrating on playing. In such a case, ask someone to operate the MR16, or use either of the other two punch in/out methods described later.

The recorder status switches from recording to playback.

3)When the recorder reaches at the point you want to punch in, press the [RECORD] key while holding down the [PLAY] key (see <Important note>).

The armed track is punched in (i.e. starts recording).

5)Press the [STOP] key to stop the recorder.

6)Rewind the recorder and play back the part you performed the punch in/out recording to check the result.
