It is also possible to enter a location point manually, (from a cue list, for instance) and locate straight to it.

1Press the MANUAL key so that the indicator lights.

2Use the number keys to enter a number in hh:mm:ss (and optionally frames) format.

This location point can be stored by pressing the MEMO key so that the indicator flashes, followed by pressing the MANUAL key again.

To locate to this point again after storing the location point, press the MANUAL key, followed by the ENTER key.

Repeat play

Location memories 8 and 9 (accessed with the 8 and 9 keys) are used as the start and end points of a repeat loop that can be played by pressing the REPEAT key in the MACHINE CONTROL section.

While the repeat loop is in progress, the indicator flashes while the playback position is outside the

loop points, and lights steadily while it is inside them.

The repeat is always between points 8 and 9, regard- less of their order. These points must be more than 5 seconds apart.
