The AW1600 provides an “A-B Repeat” function that repeatedly plays the region between the A

point and B point. This is useful when you want to repeatedly play back a certain region of the

song while you adjust the mix.

1Register the A point and B point to the loca-
tions at which you want the repeated play-
back to start and end.
For details on how to set the A point and B point, refer
to “Using markers” ( p. 67).
2While the transport is stopped, press the
[REPEAT] key.
The [REPEAT] key will light, and the A-B Repeat
function will be on. The song will automatically locate
to the A point.
3To begin repeat playback, press the PLAY
[] key.
Playback will begin from the A point. When you reach
the B point, you will automatically return to the A
point and continue playback.
4To stop playback, press the STOP [] key.
Playback will stop, but the A-B Repeat function will
remain turned on.
When the A-B Repeat function is on, pressing the
PLAY [ ] key will immediately resume repeat play-
back, regardless of the current position.
5To cancel repeat playback, press the
[REPEAT] key.
The [REPEAT] key will go dark, and the A-B Repeat
function will be cancelled. If you cancel the A-B
Repeat function during repeat playback, normal play-
back will occur from that point.
Repeatedly playing a specific region (the A-B Repeat function)
• If you set the B point earlier than the A point, the B
A
region will play repeatedly.
HINT
The A and B points must be at least one second apart. If they
are closer than this, a message of “REPEAT POINTS TOO
CLOSE” will appear when you press the [REPEAT] key, and
repeat playback will not be possible.
NOTE
• Playback will stop automatically when the A/B region has
been repeated 99 times.
• If you press the [REPEAT] key while the song is playing,
repeat playback between the A and B points will begin auto-
matically, regardless of the current position.
HINT
• If you perform a recording operation while the A-B Repeat
function is on, the A-B Repeat function will be temporarily dis-
abled.
