The HD8/HD16 provides a “scrub” function that lets you search
for a desired location while repeatedly playing a short section
before or after the current point. This is convenient to accurately
find the point at which a specific sound starts or stops.
When the scrub function is on, you can use the “preview
function” that plays 0.7 seconds before or after the current
point. By using the scrub and preview functions together, you
can find the desired location quickly and accurately.
1. To perform scrub playback, hold down the
STOP [P] key from the main screen and
press the PLAY [R] key.
The keys light up, and a short section (40 milliseconds by
default) following the current location will play back repeatedly.
Immediately after activating the scrub function, audio track 1
will be selected as target for scrub playback.
When the scrub function is on, the display indication changes
as follows.
2. Use the status keys to select the track(s) for
scrub playback.
Up to four tracks can be selected simultaneously for scrub
playback. (Stereo track pairs are counted as two tracks.) Scrub
playback is toggled on and off for a track by repeatedly pressing the
respective status key. If you attempt to select more than four tracks,
scrub playback will be carried out for the last four tracks only.
3. To move the scrub playback position, use the
cursor left/right keys to cause the
millisecond indication or the tick indication
on the counter to flash. Then turn the dial to
find the desired location.
During scrub playback, the current location can be moved
forward or backward in milliseconds or ticks.
4. To use the preview function for hearing the
section before the current location, press the
REW [T] key. To hear the section after the
current location, press the FF [Y] key.
If you press the REW [T] key, a section of 0.7 seconds prior
to the current location will play (ending at the current
location). If you press the FF [Y] key, a section of 0.7 seconds
following the current location will play (beginning at the
current location). This is called “preview playback”. When
preview playback ends, scrub playback will resume.
5. To cancel the scrub function, press the STOP
[P] key.
The PLAY [R] and STOP [P] keys go out.
When the scrub function is on, you can change the direction of
scrub playback (whether it will play the section before or after the
current location), and the length of the scrub playback section.
1. From the main screen, hold down the STOP
[P] key and press the PLAY [R] key.
This turns the scrub function on, and the direction and duration
of scrub playback are shown on the display.
2. To change the length of scrub playback, use the
cursor left/right keys to cause the scrub
playback length setting to flash, and turn the dial.
You can select 40, 80, 120, 160, or 200 (ms) as the length of
scrub playback.
3. To change the direction of scrub playback, use the
cursor left/right keys to cause the scrub playback
direction indication to flash, and turn the dial.
To exit the scrub function, press the STOP [P] key.
