Loop Count feature: For continuous looping of a section, Auto Return and Auto Play are
both turned on. Hold Peak Clear while pressing Auto Return to temporarily display
the current loop count. To preserve the tape from accidental wear, the M20 will
automatically exit Auto Play mode after 100 continuous loops of Auto Return.

ET RE
For rehearsal or recording, it's often important to hear a few seconds of music prior to an
entry point. Setting a pre-roll time locates the tape prior to any location point by the specified
amount of pre-roll (0 to 25 seconds; default is 5 seconds). Setting pre-roll = 0 causes the tape
to locate to the cue point (same as disabling pre-roll).
Pre-roll also works when looping between two points.
