Auto Repeat Function - Fostex D-1624 Reference Manual

The Auto Repeat function allows the recorder to repeat playback up to the AUTO RTN END point, automatically
locate the AUTO RTN START point, then play up to the AUTO RTN END point until you cancel the function by
pressing the STOP button. To enable this function, both AUTO PLAY mode and AUTO RTN mode should be
turned on, and the AUTO RTN START point and the AUTO RTN END point should already be set.
Using this function will facilitate the Auto Punch In/Out and Manual Punch In/Out rehearsal. See "Hint" after
the following section.

You can make repeated Auto Punch In/Out rehearsal much easier and quicker by using the

Auto Repeat function.

Set the AUTO RTN START point prior to the AUTO PUNCH IN point, and set the AUTO RTN
END point after the AUTO PUNCH OUT point. The recorder will repeat the operation
automatically so you can concentrate on your rehearsal.
Cancel Auto Repeat mode before you record a take.
The recorder will play this range repeatedly for rehearsal, which makes it easy for you to
check the recording level and practice your performance.
