Hey Nelson, OK, well, there you go. The button in the transport is precisely like the record button on any tape machine while the other record button is a toggle to turn the track select button into a record arm button. Rather than having a dedicated select button and a dedicated record enable button, they've decided to make a dual function button to save space. This was the case on the 002 as well. Does that help clarify?
