The Auto Record function lets you determine exactly where recording should
begin and end beforehand, so that the machine automatically takes you in and
out of record. Locate Points 2 and 3 determine the in and out points.
After setting both Locate Points 2 and 3, press the [AUTO REC] button to enable
this function; the AUTO REC icon will light. To execute a "take", rewind to a
position before Locate Point 2, then hold [RECORD] and press [PLAY], just as
you would to record normally. When the Locate 2 position is reached, recording
will begin. When the Locate 3 position is reached, recording stops while the
transport continues.
To execute an Auto Record take:
The AUTO REC icon will light.
If [AUTO REC] is pressed when the Locate 2 position is set beyond or at the
same position as the Locate 3 position, the TIME counter will momentarily read
"invALid" indicating that this is not possible, and you will not be able to
enable the Auto Record function until you change either Locate 2 or 3's position.
The [PLAY] LED will light, and the [RECORD] LED will flash.
Upon reaching the Locate 2 position, recording will begin on any record enabled
tracks and the [RECORD] LED will light solid. If no tracks are record enabled
when the Locate 2 position is reached, the [RECORD] LED will continue
flashing and no recording will take place. At any time before the Locate 3
position, a track may be record enabled, which will cause the track to
immediately enter record and the [RECORD] LED will light solid. Upon
reaching the Locate 3 position, recording will cease and the [RECORD] LED
will turn off.
Whenever the XT20 is put into play, it requires a brief moment to locate the
timecode reference on tape and "lock." If the Locate 2 position is reached while
the AUTO REC icon is lit before the XT20 establishes a lock, the punch in will
not take place until a lock has been established (after the LOCKED icon turns
on).
