Auto punch operations

For units supporting auto punch, the three keys: RHSL, IN/OUT and CLEAR are used to set punch points and perform punch operations.

It is a good idea to start this process with at least one track armed for recording:

1Press RHSL so that the indicator lights. Play back the source, and press the RECORD key at the punch-in point (it will flash). Press PLAY at the punch-out point.

The RHSL indicator should now light steadily.

2Press the RHSL key to enable rehearsal mode. Press PLAY, and playback will start from the pre-roll position. At the in point, the RECORD key flashes, and goes off at the OUT point.

Repeat the rehearsal until you are happy, and then press the IN/OUT key. The indicator flashes. Pressing PLAY starts playback at the

pre-roll point. Playback continues until the in point, when the unit drops into record (RECORD lights) until the out point, when the DM-3200 punches out. Repeat until you’re happy with the take.

3To review the punch recording, press the IN/ OUT key so that the indicator lights steadily.

Press CLEAR from rehearsal mode to return to normal operation and clear the punch points.

Press CLEAR from punch or review mode to clear the mode and the punch points.

When punch operations are taking place, the punch- in and punch-out points may be viewed and edited in location memories 4 and 5 respectively. When the CLEAR key is pressed to finish punch operations, the original location memories (if any) are restored.

ALL INPUT and AUTO MON

The F5 acts as an ALL INPUT and F6 as an AUTO MON key for DTRS devices controlled through the P2 protocol. A popup appears (if the remote device supports this function) to show the function is enabled.

Devices controlled using the P2 protocol (including DTRS units controlled over P2) can accept these commands, but some cannot, depending on the man- ufacturer’s implementation of the protocol.
