If the counter display type is set to Time (SECOND) or Time Code (TIME CODE), the point to which the [RTZ] key will locate will depend on whether absolute time or relative time is being displayed.

❍If the counter shows absolute time (ABS)

Pressing the [RTZ] key will locate to the 00:00:00.00 position if the counter shows the time code, or to the start point (zero absolute time) if the counter shows the time.

❍If the counter shows relative time (REL)

Pressing the [RTZ] key will locate to the point that the user specified as zero rela- tive time. (For details on setting the zero relative time, refer to the section below.)

If Measure display (MEASURE) is selected for the counter, you cannot switch between absolute time and relative time; pressing the [RTZ] key will always locate to the start point of the song.

❒Setting the zero relative time location

You can use the following procedure to set the relative (REL) zero point that is dis- played by the counter.

1.Locate the song to the point that you wish to set as relative zero.

2.Hold down the Locate section [SET] key, and press the [RTZ] key.

If the counter had been displaying the relative time (REL), the counter display will be reset to zero (00:00:00.000). If the counter had been displaying the absolute time (ABS), it will automatically switch to relative time, and will be reset to zero (00:00:00.000).
