2)Confirm that the auto punch mode is active.

If it is not active, press the [AUTO PUNCH] key to make it active.

3)Press the [RECORD] key while holding down the [PLAY] key.

[PLAY] key.

Unlike the rehearsal, the recorder automati- cally starts recording when it reaches the punch-in point, then automatically stops re- cording and exits the auto punch mode at the punch-out point.

<Hint>: During actual auto punch in/out mode, "TAKE" is lit in the time display sec- tion on the screen, so that you can know that the recorder is now in the actual auto punch in/out mode.

<Note>: You can cancel the auto punch in/ out recording you made by pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key.

<Note>: In addition to the punch in/out func- tion, the MR16 allows you to edit the recorded material using the following editing functions.

Deleting the whole data on the desired track (using the "Erase Track" menu item). See page 120.

Copying all data on a track and pasting it to another track (using the "Copy Paste Track" menu item). See page 121.

<About "part">: A "part" is defined as au- dio data between the "LOCATE A" and "LO- CATE B" points. Therefore, you have to set the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points when editing a "part".

The punch-in and punch-out points set for the auto punch in/out function also can be used as the "LOCATE A" and "LO- CATE B" points.
