• Programming the PUNCH IN/OUT points

<Note>
When programming a PUNCH IN/OUT point, the time of
the punch IN point must always be before the time of the
PUNCH OUT point. If the PUNCH OUT point precedes the
PUNCH IN point, a " Void Out!" error message appears on the
LCD and prevents use of the AUTO PUNCH mode.
1. While the system is in the PLAY or STOP mode, press the
[HOLD/>] key at the time to program as the PUNCH IN or
PUNCH OUT point.
2. Press the [STORE] key (RED: Light ON).
3. The PUNCH IN point is programmed when the [AUTO
PUNCH IN] key is pressed. The PUNCH OUT point is
programmed when the [AUTO PUNCH OUT] key is
pressed.

• AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT rehearsal

1. Press the [RECORD] key while the [SHIFT] key is
depressed to go to the "AUTO PUNCH Mode".
"RHSL" starts flashing.
2. LOCATE the point immediately before starting the
recording.
3. If only the [PLAY] key is pressed, the recordings are
rehearsed.
"RHSL" steadily lights. In the rehearsal mode, even though
recording is not actually executed, the monitor signal for
a record-armed track changes to "input" at the punch-in
point and returns to "source" at the punch-out point.
You can check or adjust the record level and timing in the
rehearsal mode as many times as you want until you are
satisfied.
4. Press the [STOP] key to stop the VF160EX.

• AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT take

1. After rehearsal is completed, locate the point immediately
before starting the recording, as with step 2 of AUTO
PUNCH IN/OUT rehearsal.
3. Press the [RECORD] key while the [PLAY] key is
depressed to start recording [TAKE].
"RHSL" changes to "TAKE".
The actual recording is made between the PUNCH IN and
PUNCH OUT points. At the PUNCH OUT point, recording as
well as the AUTO PUNCH mode stops.
4. Press the [STOP] key to stop the VF160EX.
Tips: Undo/Redo
If you are not satisfied with the take, you can rerecord
after pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key.
