Recording as a timecode slave
In order to assure recording when functioning as a
timecode slave, if unlocked recording operations are
disabled and recording cannot be conducted. This is the
same as with TASCAM DTRS series and MX-2424 units. To
start recording when functioning as a timecode slave, the
unit must be locked (PLAY LED lit).

Input Monitoring
There are four options for input monitoring:
Normal input monitoring
Normal input monitoring puts any track that’s in record
in input monitoring. Whether the transport is in play,
record or stop, you will hear the input only and not what
is recorded. This mode is typically used for tracking.
Auto Input mode
When the recorder is in Auto Input mode, you will hear
the input when the transport is in stop or record. When
the transport is in play, you will hear what was previously
recorded. This mode is used for punch-in recording, so
that the artist and engineer can hear what was previously
