PUNCH-IN or INSERT Recording

Punch-in Procedure

There are 2 ways to initiate the punch-in recording.

The first is with the transport RECORD button, and

the second is with the optional footswitch.

Perform the "Preliminary" on the previous page, if

you haven't yet done so.

Punching-in/out with RECORD

1Check to see that the track 2's REC

indicator is blinking showing the track is in

the Rec Ready mode. Locate the tape a little

behind the expected punch-in point. Then

press PLAY.

2When you reach JUST BEFORE the error,

hold PLAYand push RECORD. The REC

indicator that was blinking will glow solid

and track 2 enters the Record mode.

3To punch-out of record, push STOP(or

PAUSE). The REC indicator that was lit

solidly blinks to indicate that recording is

over.

Using the remote footswitch

(RC-30P)

If you are recording alone and are too busy playing

an instrument to push the switches, the optional

remote footswitch really comes in handy.

1Plug the RC-30P into the REMOTE

PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the front of the

414 MKII.

2Check that the track 2's REC indicator is

blinking, and locate the tape to a point a

little before the error, then press PLAY.

3When you reach JUST BEFORE the error,

press the footswitch, and the REC indicator

that was blinking will glow steadily to

indicate the track is in the Record mode.

4To punch-out of record, press the footswitch

again. The REC indicator will start blinking

again.

5To stop the tape, press STOP.
