RECORD
Play
Play puts the HDR24/96 into play. Play also punches out of record
and cancels master record standby.
Stop
Stop brings the “tape” to an immediate halt. Stop also punches
out of record and cancels master record standby.
Fast Wind
Rewind and Fast Forward put the HDR24/96
into fast wind mode from any state. They
behave just like those on a large multitrack
recorder: when pressed from stop, the “tape”
rolls slowly at first, then accelerates to 20X
speed in a few seconds. Pressing either button
a second or third time puts the Transport into
even faster wind speeds.

Record
Press Play and Record simultaneously to

Record Features
Record Ready
Recording can only take place on tracks which are
“armed” for recording. Press the Record Ready buttons to
arm tracks. When Record is engaged, you can punch
individual tracks in and out on the fly with the Record
Ready buttons. Their LEDs blink in standby and glow in
record.
Record Safe
Record Safe disarms all tracks and disables the Record
Ready and master Record buttons. Use Record Safe to
prevent users from inadvertently recording over existing
audio.

The monitor mode buttons determine what the user hears at the
HDR24/96 tape outputs.

User’s Guide
All Input is used for rehearsal and level setting. When All
Input is on, both armed and unarmed tracks monitor their
tape inputs, and the Auto Input setting has no effect.
Auto Input
Auto Input is used for recording, and affects only tracks
that are armed. Unarmed tracks always monitor the
playback of previously recorded audio.
When Auto Input is off, armed tracks always monitor their
tape inputs.
When Auto Input is on, armed tracks monitor their tape inputs in
stop, fast forward, rewind, and record; in play they monitor the
playback of previously recorded audio. This mode is used for
overdubbing.

Pre Roll
Pre Roll causes a Locate to jump to a time that is earlier

Time is set in the HDR24/96 MIDI Setup window.

Troubleshooting & Warranty Service
If you think your Remote 24 has a problem, try the following:
Make sure the cable is plugged into the “Remote” jack on the
rear panel of the HDR24/96 - the “Remote” jack is easy to
confuse with the Ethernet jack.
Remove and reinstall the cable, reboot the HDR24/96, and/or
replace the Remote 24 cable (available at computer supply
stores).
Be sure you are not using a CAT-5 crossover cable (usually
known by its yellow color and always labled “Crossover”).
Put the Remote 24 into self-test mode and test the function of
the swiches and LEDs.
• Place a blank floppy disk into the HDR24/96 and power
up the unit while holding down Record Ready buttons 1
and 2 on the Remote 24.
• When the unit is first powered on, all LEDs will be lit,
and the Remote 24 firmware version number is shown in
the Take and Track Number displays.
User’s Guide
• Pressing a button associated with an LED turns the
LED off.
• Pressing a Locate button lights the LED above it in the
Locator section.
• Pressing the Take Select buttons increments/
decrements the Take and Track Number displays; and
pressing the Track Select buttons increments/
decrements the Meter display.
After all this, if it still doesn’t work properly please contact Mackie
Designs technical support at (800) 258-6883 (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Pacific Time) - see the included Warranty Card for details.
