• Programming the PUNCH IN/OUT points

<Note>

When programming a PUNCH IN/OUT point, the time of the punch IN point must always be before the time of the PUNCH OUT point. If the PUNCH OUT point precedes the PUNCH IN point, a “Void Out!” error message appears on the LCD and prevents use of the AUTO PUNCH mode.

1.While the system is in the PLAY or STOP mode, press the [HOLD/>] key at the time to program as the PUNCH IN or PUNCH OUT point.

2.Press the [STORE] key (RED: Light ON).

3.The PUNCH IN point is programmed when the [AUTO PUNCH IN] key is pressed. The PUNCH OUT point is programmed when the [AUTO PUNCH OUT] key is pressed.

You can check or adjust the record level and timing in the rehearsal mode as many times as you want until you are satisfied.
