Modifying Edit Points

Once you set edit points, you can modify or delete them as required. When edit points have been set incorrectly, for example when an OUT point is located before an IN point or when the duration of editing segments on the player and recorder do not match, the DELETE button flashes to alert you that a preview or edit cannot be carried out. In this case, either modify the erroneous edit point, or first delete it and then enter it correctly.

To turn a flashing DELETE button off

The DELETE button goes off when the erroneous edit point is correct.
