Recording in a new Program

The explanation so far has been based on one Program set up when you format a current drive (E-IDE hard disk or SCSI disk). You may create up to 99 Programs, depending on the available disk space. Multiple Programs do not interfere with each other. You can record, play, and edit each Program independently, which facilitates song management. This section explains how to set up a new Program on the disk. Refer to the reference manual for more information regarding Programs.

1. While this recorder is stopped, press the PGM key.

The display indicates [Select PGM!] momentarily, then shows the title of Program 1. The Program number and [SURE?] flash.
