© MONITOR LEVEL CONTROL
(MONITOR)
Determines the overall output level sent to the MON
OUT jacks © and PHONES jack ©.
© RECORD TRACK SELECT SWITCHES
(REC SELECT)
These three-position switches select the track(s) to be
recorded. Setting the switch to the numbered position
(1,2,3 and 4) selects the respective tape tracks; these
are direct record settings that bypass the PAN and EQ
controls. Setting the switch to the center position dis¬
ables recording. Setting it to L (left) or R (right) selects
the respective signal of the stereo buss for recording.
The signal is recorded to the track number indicated on
the switch. (For example, if the first REC SELECT
switch is set to L, the left signal of the stereo buss will
be recorded to track 1.) This setting is particularly
useful for recording multiple inputs sent on the stereo
buss to a single track.
© REHEARSAL SWITCH
(REHEARSAL)
This switch is used for disabling/enabling recording
during punch-in recording. It also lets you hear the
punch-in and punch-out as you rehearse, without
erasing the original track.
Normally, pressing the footswitch automatically acti¬
vates punch-in/out recording and could result in the
inadvertent erasing of a track. To avoid this, the RE¬
HEARS ALswitch provides a safety function that allows
you to set up and practice a punch-in recording before
actually executing it. The REHEARSAL switch effec¬
tively simulates the actual punch-in recording process
by switching the monitor between the original track and
the part to be punched-in, each time the footswitch is
pressed. (See Punch-in Recording, page 21, for de¬
tails.)
© NOISE REDUCTION SWITCH
(DOLBY NR)
This switch turns the Dolby B noise reduction system
on and off. For best sonic results, you should keep this
switch on. The off position is for performing calibration
and alignment operations.
© COUNTER RESET SWITCH
(COUNT RESET)
Pressing this button resets the tape counter © - b to
"
000
."
© RECORD BUTTON
(REC)
Pressing this button (after the REC SELECT switches
© have been properly set) allows you to monitor the
level of the input with the bar graph level meters © - a.
(Pressing the REC button alone does not actually start
recording, however. To record, hold down the REC
button and simultaneously press PLAY.
Note: Recording can also be started. During play¬
back, hold down the REC button and simulta¬
neously press PLAY; if the REC SELECT
switches have been properly set, recording will
start.

FAST FORWARD BUTTON
(F. FWD)

STOP BUTTON
(STOP)
@ ZERO RETURN BUTTON
(0 RTN)
Pressing this button rewinds or fast forwards the tape
to the "000" position. (The zero return indicator in the
display (►►0 or 0-«) will light,) This function, used with
the COUNT RESET switch ©, makes it easy to "mark"
a specific point in the recording and return to it auto¬
matically.
Pressing the PLAY button after pressing the ZERO
RETURN button activates auto play; playback auto¬
matically begins once the tape transport reaches the
"000" position. (The play indicator in the display will
flash.) The PLAY button can be pressed at any time
while the tape is being rewound or fast forwarded to
activate the function.
