With this Menu it is possible to select any adjacent Odd/Even pair of tracks for output from the stereo 
AES/EBU
[55] and 
SPDIF [54] connectors on the back of the MX-2424.  Both connectors will simultaneously output signal
from the same pair of tracks.  (NOTE:  When using this feature it will also be necessary to choose AES/EBU or
SPDIF protocol under Menu 466.)
If selected to Silent Clock, the stereo AES/EBU and SPDIF out connectors will output clock only.  This can be
useful if an...

time for audio recording.  Disks are represented by their SCSI ID numbers.

711 Disk Low Format
This Menu Utility will perform a low level format on the specified drive.  This is different from initializing a disk
because it erases the disk sector by sector instead of just erasing the disk’s directory information.  Low Level
Formatting a disk takes longer than initializing a disk but should be performed periodically to keep the disk in
optimal condition.  LOW LEVEL FORMATTING A DISK WILL ERASE ALL AUDIO ON THE DISK.  THERE
IS NO UNDO.  After low level formatting a disk it will...

Advanced Functions
Using Auto Punch, Loop Mode & Virtual Tracks
Auto Punch, Loop Mode and Virtual Track functions are separate operations, however they are very powerful when
used together so they will be covered together in this section.
Using Auto Punch
Auto Punch mode is used for automating record/rehearse punching.  There are times, when operating the MX-2424
alone, when it is helpful to have the machine automatically perform transport functions and record/rehearse
punching.  This allows the operator...

Using Loop Mode
There are three Loop Modes determined by Menu 210 as described below:
Play RepeatedlyThis setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (with Pre-Roll) through the
Out point (with Post-Roll) repeatedly until the 
STOP key {34} is pressed.  (This is the
default setting.)
Play Once & CueThis setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (with Pre-Roll) through the
Out point (with Post-Roll), then locate back to the In point (with Pre-Roll) and stop,
disengaging the...

Using Auto Punch with Loop Mode
If the MX-2424 is set to perform an Auto Record/Rehearse and Loop Mode is engaged then the Auto Punch will be
executed at the In and Out points during the Loop operation.  When used in this way the MX-2424 will function as
described below for the three possible settings of Menu 210.
Play RepeatedlyThis setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (minus Pre-Roll), punch in
at the In point, punch out at the Out point and continue playing for the amount of time...

Play Once & StopThis setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (minus Pre-Roll), punch in
at the In point, punch out at the Out point and continue playing for the amount of time set
as Post Roll then stop, disengaging Loop Mode.
When using Loop Mode in combination with Auto Punch it is possible to cancel the Loop operation on the fly by
pressing REC/REH or by holding REC/REH and pressing PLAY (as determined in Menu 202).  When Loop Mode
is cancelled in this way during an Auto Record...
