rewinding.
Both the Pre-Roll and Post-Roll times are set in the identical manner.
To display and/or edit the Pre-Roll or Post-Roll Time:
1. Press the EDIT button (the EDIT button LED will go on to indicate
you are in Edit mode);
2. Press either the PRE-ROLL or POST-ROLL button;

value is 5.0 seconds.
3. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select a value between 0.0 and 20.0.
• Selecting a non-zero Pre-Roll Time will cause the tape to locate to
a point within seconds before the normal locate point. Setting a 0
Pre-Roll Time will cause the tape to locate to the exact position of
a locate point (this is the same as disabling Pre-Roll).
• Selecting a non-zero Post-Roll Time will cause the tape to rewind
at a point within seconds after the normal loop end point. Setting
a 0 Post-Roll time will cause the tape to rewind at the exact
position of the loop end point (the same as disabling Post-Roll).
Note: Both the Pre-Roll and Post-Roll Times affect the Loop function
(see section 4.2).
