5-5-5 New File Names
When files are collected on the R2 Port, and new files are assigned to the RP Port, they are assigned new file names as shown below.
R2 Port Collection | BG#XXXX |
RP Port New Files | NEW#XXXX |

*Where “XXXX”, a simple
When copying existing files, a number is added at the end of the original file name.
Example: Executing Load Copy on a file named “Program”
First time Load Copy is executed: Program.1
Second time Load Copy is executed: Program.2
Third time Load Copy is executed: Program.3 If, in the case of the above example, the Load Copy operation is performed directly on the file “Program.2”, the system will attempt to create “Program.3”. However, since “Program.3” already exists, the system will start a new branch of numbers as follows:
First time Load Copy is executed: Program.2A.1
Second time Load Copy is executed: Program.2A.2 The last digit at the end of the file name indicates the number of times Load Copy was executed, while the portion of the name preceding the last “dot” indicates the original file name. If multiple branches of duplicates are made from the original file, a letter is inserted before the last “dot” in the file name.
Note
If Load Copy is executed repeatedly, the file names will gradually become longer; if it is no longer possible to add more characters, the name “%LongName” will be used. In addition, if all branches have been used (i.e., Load Copy has been used to generate file names from “ProgramA.1” to “ProgramZ.1”) the name “%MaxBranch” will be used. Because these alternate names do not bear any relation to the name of the original file, rename such duplicates with a shorter file name as soon as possible.
5-5-6 Monitoring the RP Port
When either the R1 or P1 key is pressed, both R1 and P1 light to indicate that the RP port is selected. However, the monitored output differs according to which key was pressed.
When the R1 key was pressed
In this status, you will see “Inp Adj” displayed in the upper left corner of the display panel.
Signals applied to the R1 input terminal are also present at the monitor output. The status is the same as INPUT CHECK with a VTR.
Audio volume and input signal selection at the meter panel apply to the recording material for INSERT/ASSEMBLE operation.
