I have a Sharp 722 and I have no problem whatsoever with the unit going
into REC-PAUSE when the REC button is pressed. In fact, I really like this
feature. Presumably when you're recording something, you need to check
levels, inputs, etc. and in order to do this, you need the unit in
REC-PAUSE mode.
Do the Sonys start recording IMMEDIATELY when the REC button is pressed? I
suspect they take a while to get started up (disc spinning etc.) before
they do actually begin to record?? With the unit in REC-PAUSE, it is ready
to start as soon as PAUSE is pressed.
I am a sound engineer at my local arts centre and I have recorded several
gigs now (with the band's consent) from the mixing desk outputs (with
excellent results, I must say) - I simply put the unit into REC-PAUSE in
the sound check with the press of one button to check the levels as we go -
I don't want to have to alter them during the gig. When it comes to start
the gig later on, I get the unit ready in REC-PAUSE mode again and when the
band are ready to play, I simply press PAUSE and away it goes.
Cheers,
Wrighty
