Executing the Auto Repeat function
1. Store the AUTO RTN START and AUTO RTN END
points.
Refer to the chapter “Storing a Locate Point (Edit Point)”
on page 66 for information on storing the desired points
in the AUTO RTN START key and the AUTO RTN END
key.
2. Press the AUTO RTN/AUTO PLAY key to turn on
the [PLAY RTN] indicator on the bottom of the
display.
3. Start playback a little before the AUTO RTN START
point.
The FD-8 operates as shown in the diagram, and stops at
the AUTO RTN START point.
• You can set a preroll time in the [Preroll ?] menu in SETUP
mode so that the FD-8 will start playback preroll time before
the locate point. You can set the preroll time from 0 to 10
seconds. Refer to the chapter “Changing the Initial Settings
(SETUP Mode)” on page 102.
<Hint>
You can make repeated Auto Punch In/Out rehearsal much easier and quicker by using the Auto Repeat function.
Set the AUTO RTN START point prior to the AUTO PUNCH IN point, and set the AUTO RTN END point after the AUTO
PUNCH OUT point. The recorder will repeat the operation automatically so you can concentrate on your rehearsal.
Cancel Auto Repeat mode before you record a take.
The FD-8 will play this range repeatedly for rehearsal, which makes it easy for you to check the recording level and practice
your performance.
