Tascam DP-008 Record - NOT !

[alotawatts]

-Got familar with all of the fuctions. When I try to record (record / >) the machine (track) stays in standby/blinking mode and won't record.
All of the assignments for input (ext mic) ect. look correct.
The meters show signal(s).
Ideas ?

Update

Spoke with a Tascam support Tech. They have had other calls with the same question.
Confusion is with two keys for RECORD. Page 16 of the owners manual with Recording Instructions has the picture/diagram of the top panel truncated (cut off) so you don't see (in the diagram) the MAIN Record button which only has a red dot and is labled AUTO PUNCH.
My $.02
Label each button on the bottom of all tracks (channels) with 'Ready' or 'ARM' and label the main record button with REC along with the red dot.

I have a DP-008 and am very impressed. I tracked eight tracks from a variety of sources and didn't need to crack the manual until I exported to my computer.

I'll second how great the DP-008 is, and I have just come off of recording to analog finally....
