OTES
• When spot erasing, the reel must be " quickly" rotated by hand. If the reel is rotated by the CUEING
dial or if hand rotating speed is slow, a click noise is apt to be recorded at the spot on the tape where
the ERASE ON button was pressed. We suggest you practice this technique a few times before
trying it on a " real" take. he manual process of holding/releasing of the ERASE ON button can be
replaced by stepping/releasing, when the foot switch (optional) is plugged into the PUNCH-IN/OU
jack.
• If there is no track in record ready status, the ERASE ON LED will not light even though the ERASE
ON button is pressed.
• he RECORD LED on the controller will light during the spot erase process and, the SAFE/RDY LED
of the track being erased will change from flashing alternately red and green to red only.
