During loop recording, all LEDs of microP2 memory card access on the microP2 memory cards used for recording are lighted or blink orange. Loop
recording stops when these microP2 memory cards are removed. Be careful.
t
Loop recording may stop when the input reference signal of the generator lock is disrupted during loop recording.
