0 When the point where you want to punch out of
record is reached, press PLAY.
That point is saved to memory ; and the RHSL LED
that was blinking glows solid to show that the unit is
now in Rehearsal mode.
After about 3 seconds of play (this post-roll time is
adjustable, as discussed later), the tape will rewind,
automatically stopping at a point about 5 seconds
lower than the punch-in point (this pre-roll time also
is adjustable, as discussed later).
7 To cycle over a sequence punching in and out, press
PLAY.
During Rehearsal mode, the monitor is automatically
switched from tape to input at the punch-in point and,
at the punch-out point, reverts to tape.
^ If you decide to exit the Rehearsal mode, press
CLEAR. The RHSL LED will then turn off.
0 Repeat the rehearsal as many times as necessary. If
you are not satisfied with the current punch-in and out
point settings, first exit the rehearsal mode by press­
ing RHSL, then go back to step 3, Consider also the
possibilities explained under the next paragraph, (2)
Setting Punch In and Out Points.
• Auto Play Function : If you press PLAY during the
autolocate process after postroll, the PLAY button will
start brinking to show that the DA-38 will automatically
start playing when completing autolocation.
If you are using the optional RC-848 remote control
unit and press its AUTO PLAY key, the trial punch-in
will automatically repeat over and over, •

SECTION 4: RECORDING
(2) Setting Punch In and Out Points
You can set the punch in and out points in any of three
ways:
A. Perform a trial punch-in recording in Rehearsal mode,
as explained above.
B. Key in the desired points at menus in Rehearsal
mode.
C. Perform a normal recording (as explained earlier, the
point you start recording from and the point you stop
recording are automatically stored into memory as
punch in and out points).
Punch in and out points you select by Method A or C can
be recalled from memory onto the display, and you can
trim them to frame accuracy (Method B). Also, if the
necessary punch in and out points are known to you in
advance, you can directly enter them at menus.
Follow these steps to control the punch in and out points
from menus:
NOTE
Each time you enter a punch in or out point, it over­
writes the previous one.
Y Check to see that the RHSL LED is lit. If it isn't, press
the RHSL key two times and the LED will light.
