MR16 Owner’s Manual (Punch in/out)

Auto punch in/out

By setting the punch-in and punch-out points in advance, the recorder automatically makes punch in/out recording for you. You can rehearse punch in/out recording as many times you like.

Setting the punch-in and punch-out points

You can set the punch-in and punch-out points on-the-fly while playing back the recorder (as well as you can set them while the recorder is stopped at the desired position).
