Adjusting the counter and setting Locate A and Locate B
There is a case that you need to adjust the counter. That is, when you convert the
stereo-mixed audio signals recorded on tracks 15/16 to a stereo WAV file for creating
an audio CD, you need to cut the unnecessary parts at the beginning and end. In such
a case, you need to adjust the counter after editing.
In the following procedure, it is assumed that the time base mode is set to "Bar/Beat".
1) Press the [DIRECT LOCATE] key to enter the direct locate mode.
2) Use the [REWIND] key (or the [F FWD] key) to roughly search the beginning (or end) of the
song.
3) Press the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select the locate accuracy.
4) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to adjust the counter.
You can check the adjustment by preview playback.
5) After adjusting the counter, press the [LOCATE A/IN] key (or [LOCATE B/OUT] key) while
holding down the [STORE] key to set the Locate A (or Locate B) point.
