Notes

If you switch to the Hold mode during stop status, the display will be turned off. Pressing any button during this status will make the clock display flash for 2 seconds, but will not operate the recorder.

If HOLD is applied during playback (recording), operation is disabled with the playback (recording) state unchanged. (When playback has ended and the recording has ended due the remaining memory being used up, it will be in the stop state.)
