Use the Preview function to check the stored edit points and adjust them if necessary.

Specify a track to erase and execute the function.

Storing the edit points

1.Refer to the “Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys” section for information on

storing the erase start and end points.

Store the erase start point to the AUTO PUNCH IN key, and the end point to the AUTO PUNCH OUT key.

If you wish to erase the data from a specific point, store the REC END or later point as the erase end point. Refer to the <Note> for information on storing the REC END point.

See “Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys” on page 48.

key for which you wish to check the edit point.

You can preview “fade-out” at the AUTO PUNCH IN point and “fade-in” at AUTO PUNCH OUT point.

2. Trim the edit point while previewing.
