Use the m [ ] and , [ ] keys, jump to a mark or

moment that the PLAY key is pressed.
The transport status display at the top left of the Home Screen
changes into the recording status display and part of the
background of the Home Screen becomes red, indicating that
the unit is recording. The time counter starts at the same time.
When the elapsed time (ABS time) from the beginning of the
timeline reaches 23:59:59:MM (MM is the maximum number of
frames), “
RECORD stopped. ABS time is over 24h” appears
in a pop-up message and recording stops.

When stopped, pressing the PLAY key while pressing and holding the REC
key will also start recording.
Overwriting a recording
During playback, press the REC and PLAY keys simultaneously
to start recording instantaneously from that point.
NOTE
Recording can also be controlled using parallel control (except retaking).
When in recording standby, the parallel control signals output are high
for TALLY_RECORD and low for TALLY_PAUSE.

will be lit.

from the start to the end of recording will be erased.
