Cueing up linked parts of clips
Each time recording starts, a text memo is automatically added to the recording start position so that you can cue up when playing back. You can also
check the thumbnail of its position.
To automatically add a text memo to the recording start point, set [ON] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [START TEXT MEMO].
To view or play back the point of the added text memo, select [TEXT MEMO CLIPS] in the main menu → [CLIP] → [REPOSITION] and place the cursor
on the target clip.
For details, refer to "Playing back from the text memo position" (page 107).
To cue up the text memo position when playing back, set [CLIP&TEXT MEMO] in the main menu → [OTHER FUNCTIONS] → [SEEK POS SEL] and
press <%>/<)> while playback is paused.
