fi
ed the desired location, press the ENTER button.
The MD4S will locate to the specified location, and will enter playback-pause mode. If you
press the PLAY button instead of the ENTER button, playback will begin from the specified

Locating to the Last Record In/Out Point

remembered as the “last record in point” and the “last record out point.” When these points
have been set, the IN/OUT indicators in the display will light.
If the last record in/out points have been set, you can use the LAST REC SEARCH [IN] button
to locate to the “last record in point,” or the LAST REC SEARCH [OUT] button to locate to
the “last record out point.” The MD4S will then enter playback-pause mode. When you locate
to the last record in or out point, the respective IN/OUT indicator will begin blinking. The
LAST REC SEARCH [IN] button provides a convenient way to check the result of the last
recording.
The last record in/out points are also used as the auto punch-in/out points and to specify the
range of various editing functions. These points can be adjusted in steps of a single frame
(11.6 ms). (For details refer to page 63.)

marker you insert can be adjusted later in steps of a single frame.
