5.Press the PLAY button, and begin rehearsing the auto punch-in/out.

When you press the PLAY button, the MD4S will automatically locate to the pre-roll point, and will start playback. When the auto punch-in point is reached, the IN indicator in the dis- play will disappear, and the monitor signal will switch from the track playback to the record- ing source. When the auto punch-out point is reached the OUT indicator in the display will go dark, and the monitor signal will revert to the track playback. (In rehearsal mode, record- ing will not actually take place during this time.) After the auto-punch out point is passed and the post-roll is reached, the MD4S will automatically locate to the pre-roll point, and again enter auto punch-in/out rehearsal-pause mode.
