Playing back the same passage repeatedly (A-B Repeat function)

A-B Repeat is a function that repeatedly plays back a desired region of the song. This is useful when you want to listen to the same passage repeatedly.

The [A-B REPEAT] key flashes, and the repeat start location

(point A) is specified.

HINT

The A/B point can be specified either during playback or

when stopped.

2. Move to the point at which you want to end repeat

playback, and press the [A-B REPEAT] key once

more.

The [A-B REPEAT] key will change from flashing to

constantly lit, and the repeat end location (point B) will be

specified.

NOTE

If you specify a point B that is located earlier than point A, the region from points B → A will be played repeatedly.

3. If you wish to redo the A/B point setting, press the [A-B REPEAT] key so that it goes out, and then repeat the procedure from step 1.

4. To begin repeat playback, press the PLAY [R] key.

Repeat playback will begin when you press the PLAY [R] key while the [A-B REPEAT] key is lit. When the end point (normally point B) is reached, the recorder jumps to the start point (normally point A), and playback continues.

5. To stop repeat playback, press the STOP [P] key.

Even after pressing the STOP [P] key to stop playback, you can perform repeat playback again as many times as desired, as long as the [A-B REPEAT] key is lit.

6. To turn off repeat playback, press the [A-BREPEAT] key.

The [A-B REPEAT] key goes out, and repeat playback will be turned off. The A/B point locations also will be erased.

Finding a desired location (Scrub/Preview function)

The MRS-802 provides a “Scrub” function that lets you search for a desired location while repeatedly playing a short region before or after the current point. This is convenient when you want 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 and after the current point. By using the scrub and preview functions together, you can find the desired location quickly and accurately.

Using the scrub/preview functions1. From the main screen, hold down the STOP [P]key and press the PLAY [R] key.

This turns on the scrub function, and a short region (40 milliseconds by default) following the current location will play back repeatedly.
