. START/STOP by a Foot Switch
If you connect the optional F1, F1-r (which is sold separately) foot switch to the rear panel FOOT SW START/STOP jack,
you can start recording by pressing the foot switch instead of pressing the PLAY button. You can use the Start Timer along
with the footswitch if you want to.
If you press the foot switch while recording, it is the same as pressing the STOP button. The recording will stop immedi-
ately. You can also use the foot switch to play/stop a normal CD.

. Changing the Song Number While Recording without
stopping the recording
Normally when recording multiple songs using the PR-1, when you finish recording one song, you must press the STOP
button then begin the recording procedure again to change the song number to the next song. Some times it is not desirable
to stop recording but it is desirable to divide a particular song or performance into more than one song number. For
example, when recording piano sonata's first and second movement together you might want to have different song
number for each movement, but you do not want to stop the performance just to change song numbers. In this situation,
while you are still recording (REC and PLAY buttons are lit), press REC button once again and the song number will
advance to next song number and keep on recording.
Please be aware when you press the REC button, there will be a few
seconds of blank time.
