Auto Punch In/Out - Sony PCM-3348HR Operation Manual

4-4 Auto Punch In/Out

Function
Using two specified points (the punch-in point and
punch-out point), you can automatically carry out
rehearsal or recording.
For dubbing over an existing recording, you can use
this for repeated recording over the same interval.
There are two modes for auto punch in/out, with
different methods of specifying the preroll time.
•
Direct auto punch-in/out mode
In this mode, press the AUTO PUNCH button before
the punch in point, and the point at which this button
is pressed becomes the preroll point for the auto
punch in/out operation.
•
Preroll auto punch-in/out mode
In this mode, the preroll time saved in the preroll time
register is used to determine the preroll point for the
auto punch in/out operation.
