played back using the SKIP buttons. All other takes with a different compression cannot be selected.

FORWARD SEARCH & BACKWARD SEARCH.
This function can be executed in "STOP" or "PLAY" mode. Once the ">>" or "<<"key is pressed for
more than 0.5 seconds, the machine starts "FORWARD or BACKWARDS SEARCH" at 4 times
nominal speed. The longer the button is pressed, the search speed increments up to 128 times
nominal speed. When the button is released, the search stops and it returns to its previous function
(STOP or PLAY).

10.3 STOP KEY (4)

When this key is pressed during record or playback, the machine stops recording or playing and
returns to the "EE" mode.
The "EE" mode means that the input signal is fed to the output. This button can also be used as the
"PAUSE" key during playback.

10.4 PLAY KEY (5)

After a record session pressing the "PLAY" key, immediately plays back the last recorded take. After
power on pressing "PLAY" will resume playback from its last position before power down, as long as
the batteries are installed.

11 LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

11.1 OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

During the "STOP" or "RECORD" mode, the output level can be adjusted by the "UP ARROW" key (9)
to increase or the "DOWN ARROW" key (11) to decrease. Once one of these keys is pressed, an
additional bargraph on the right side of the display appears, indicating "OUT", showing the current
position of the adjustment. " 0 dB" corresponds to maximum output level, " - 59dB" corresponds to
minimum output level and "OFF" corresponds to mute of the output signal.
The setting of the output level can also be stored in the machine in such a way that every time the
machine is switched ON, it will take the same "DEFAULT LEVEL " output adjustment (See "SETTINGS
MENU, OUTPUT LEVEL "). During the "PLAY" mode, the output level can be adjusted either by the
"UP & DOWN ARROW" keys (9 & 11) or the "+" and "-"keys (8 & 7).

11.2 INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

During "STOP" or "RECORD", the input level can be adjusted by pressing the "+" (8) or "-" (7) keys to
increase or decrease the input sensitivity. Once one of these keys is pressed, an additional bargraph
on the right side of the display appears, indicating "IN", corresponding to the current setting. "74dB"
corresponds to maximum input gain, "133dB" corresponds to minimum input gain and "OFF"
corresponds to muting of the input signal. If the input sensitivity is adjusted for "74dB", it means that if
the input signal at 74dB SPL will be recorded at a 0dB level.
