Using the remote footswitch RC-30P | Tascam 424MKIII manual

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.

1.Plug the RC-30P into the REMOTE PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the rear panel of the 424 MKIII.

2.Check that the REC 2 indicator is blinking, and locate the tape to a point a little before the error, then press PLAY.

3.When you reach JUST BEFORE the error, press the footswitch. This has the same effect as pressing RECORD, and the REC 2 indicator that was blinking will glow steadily to indicate track 2 is in Record mode.

4.To punch-out of record, press the footswitch again. It has the same effect as pressing PLAY. The REC 2 indicator will start blinking again.

5.To stop the tape press STOP.
