Basic Application (Basic Recording and Playback)
<Notes on playback>
When tracks 1–4 are played, the track signals are routed to the
MON mix section of the channels with the corresponding track num-
bers. That is, track 1 signal is routed to channel 1 MON mix section,
track 2 signal is routed to channel 2 MON mix section, etc.
To monitor the track playback sound, use the corresponding channel's
MON knob to adjust the level, and use the MON PAN knob to adjust
the stereo image.

do so, set the INPUT SEL switch to TRK.
Playback of the additional track sound
<Notes in playback on the Additional track>
Sound recorded on the additional track cannot be played back in
real time while it is located there. In order to playback the addi-
tional track's sound, the recorded data must be temporarily ex-
changed with one of the real tracks. For explanations on mutually
replacing tracks, please refer to "Track Exchange Function" on page
60. The sound on the additional track exchanged to a real track
can be played back using the same procedures explained in the
left column.
<Undo/redo subsequent to exchange>
Even after temporarily exchanging onto a real track, "undo/redo"
can be executed for the purpose of checking the sound recorded
on the additional track, in the same way as at real track recording.
However, "undo/redo" subsequent to track exchange is permis-
sible only once for each function. A second try will be ignored.
* If the UNDO/REDO key is pressed after checking the sound
transferred to the real track, it can be returned to the state
prior to recording onto the additional track.
* If the UNDO/REDO key is pressed subsequent to executing
UNDO, it can be returned to the state prior to exchange of the
additional track and the real track.
<Note>
The Undo/Redo is effective only in the stop mode of the FD-4, the same
as when recording onto a real track..
Undo/Redo will not effective if the following is executed prior to carrying
out UNDO/REDO.
1. When a new recording made.
2. When a new editing is executed.
3. While in the Auto Punch On mode, when the AUTO PUNCH IN point
is passed in the PLAY (or RECORD) mode.
4. When the power is momentarily switched off.
5. When the program is changed.
6. When the disk is ejected.
