toward 0REC for about one second.

One touch recording

Recording can be started with a single operation even when this unit is
off.
When the unit is off, slide and hold the ¤?o−0 REC switch toward
0REC for about one second until TASCAM (the startup screen) appears
and recording starts.

Stopping recording

Slide the switch toward 0 REC when recording for about one second to
stop recording.
The following appears on the display when recording and when
stopped.

NOTE
o The one-second delay is intended to prevent accidental operation.
o When recording, the only possible operations are stopping, changing
the PHONE jack output volume and showing the available recording
time. If other operations are attempted, "KEY LOCKED!" will appear in
a pop-up message on the display for about one second.
o A new file will be created automatically without pausing recording
when the file size reaches 4 GB. (Track incrementing)
o To record at the optimal volume, in addition to adjusting the
mic orientation and distance from the sound source, change the
recording level settings. (see "Setting the recording level" on page
20)
