This is because of the gap between the erase head and record/playback head. Otherwise you may find that you have accidentally erased material that was before or after the re-recorded segment. 1) Connect the input source, set the input select key, and adjust the GAIN control and channel fader so that the mixer setting is identical to the previous recording. 2) Press the REC SELECT key for the track you want to punch-in. The REC SELECT - TRACK indicator on the display will flash. 3) Press the PLAY key. The indicator above the key lights and the MT4X starts the tape. Get ready to play the punch-in part. 4) At the punch-in location, press the REC/PAUSE key. Note: You can practice the punch-in at this point with the rehearsal function. Press the REHE key instead of the REC/PAUSE key. The indicator above the key lights and the flashing REC SELECT - TRACK indicator will be illuminated. Play the punch-in part. 5) Press the PLAY key at the punch-out location. The indicator above the REC/PAUSE key switches off and the REC SELECT - TRACK indicator resumes flashing. You could also use the STOP key or the RETURN TO ZERO key at this point. User's Guide
