<DREC FUNCTION (1-8)
Pressing any of these eight switches makes
the corresponding track of the recorder ready
to record. If the transport ¡s already in the
Record-ready mode, recording will begin when
the REC button is pressed.
A track cannot be recorded unless the REC
FUNCTION switch designating it is on. A
track is therefore, "safe" as long as its cor
responding switch is off as illustrated in the
chart.

®INSERT
This switch has no effect unless the MON
PGM/CUE switch is in the CUE position with
its LED off. Pressing INSERT to the on posi
tion allows the Studio 8 to automatically
switch from tape to source signáis during a
punch-in and back to the tape signal at punch-
out.
When a tape is played with the INSERT
function on, oniy the tape signáis wil l be heard,
regardiess of the REC FUNCTION settings.
On the other hand, the off position of the
INSERT lets you use the REC FUNCTION

switches to go between tape and input signáis
while playing a tape. This is useful for rehearsing
punch-ins.
<D MON PGM/CUE
Pressing this switch to the PGM position
caus.es the MONITOR mix to receive the signal
present on the PGM Busses, whetherthe recorder
is in PLAY or REC. This switch takes priority
over the INSERT switch. When in the PGM
position you will not be able to monitor the
Insert function. This is considered the normal
position when using the mixer independentiy.
When the MON PGM/CUE switch is in the
CUE position, the INSERT switch becomes
effective. This is considered the normal posi
tion for recording basic tracks and overdubbing.
If any L/R switches are down, you will oniy be
able to hear those channeis in the stereo buss.
©TAPE LIFTER
This lever retracts the tape lifters so that
the tape will contact the heads during F.FWD
or REW, allowing the monitoring of the sound
on tape to find slate tones or specific program
material. When using the TAPE LIFTER in
this way, be cautious, a high frequency signal
will be sent through your electronics when the
recorder is in F.FWD or REW mode. Adjust
your leveis accordingly. Turn your leveis down
significantly before using the TAPE LIFTER
function.
