Listening to the track you’re punching in on the Tascam 388

Big newb question but I’ve followed the manual and figure this mightn’t be possible but can you listen to the track you’ve got armed to punch in on until you hit record? Or do you just need to have the selector switch in Line or Mic mode and not hear the previously recorded track?
 
Yes, absolutely. This is functionality that pre-dates the 388 by nearly 20 years.

Study pages 13 & 14 of the manual regarding punch-in recording.
 
Thanks, I had run through the manual a few times last night in that section but had no luck. Tried again today and it seemed to click & I got it working. I think the problem was coming from having my ASSIGN buttons a bit confused as it doesn't really cover what to do with them in the manual for this section. I've never truely gotten my head around how they operate as it's never really come up with my recording as it just kinda works, but now I think I have a bit of homework to do to actually learn how they work.

Like, I dont know whats happening when L R is up vs down. Going to have a date with the manual tonight I think.
