Before you begin recording tracks, let's save the project

current state.

If the AC adaptor is pulled out of the outlet and power to
the MRS-1044 is lost, all changes that occurred since the
last save will be lost. This is also true of any other
miscellaneous power failure. To prevent data loss from
such causes, we encourage you to execute the Save
operation periodically.

Press the [ENTER] key.
The "PRJ STR SURE?" screen will appear, asking you
