faust, that is interesting although my player does not have a button marked A-B/REC it has a VOL button that has the same function. If I hold down the button for a couple of seconds the player goes into record mode and starts recording.
If I am playing music and hold the button down the player sets an A point in the song playing and a B icon flashes on the screen. Holding the button down again then sets a B point in the song playing and now the section of music between the A point and the B point will repeat.
So although I have no HOLD function I have still discovered a record and repeat function that I did not know existed, so thankyou.
By the way your English is fine and certainly better than my German.
