Manual Punch In/Out Notes
When you punch-in and punch-out, the "in" point and "out" point values are updated automatically.
If you are trying a difficult punch-in/out, perform the manual punch-in/out with the rehearsal func-
tion on (see "Rehearsal" on page 43), then confirm the punch-in/out points using the auto punch-
in/out function. When you are satisfied, switch off the rehearsal function and perform an auto
punch (also see "Auto Punch-In/Out" on page 41).
You can repeat the punch-in and punch-out operations as often as you want. After a punch-out,
you should leave an interval before you punch-in again.
When you punch-out, the monitor switches from source to playback, causing a momentary inter-
ruption in the monitor output. This does not affect the recording at all.
