Project name
Indicates the name of the project. If you copy WAV files from your computer
via USB to the R-4’s internal hard disk, this will show the file name. File names
containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) will not be displayed cor-
rectly, but they can be played.
Time counter
Indicates the time that has elapsed from the beginning of the project to the
current location. Indicated in terms of hours: minutes: seconds.
Progress bar
Indicates the current playback location relative to the entire project.
Total time
Indicates the total time of the entire project.
Level scale
Shows the audio level of each channel in real time. The markings are relative
to 0 dBFS (Full Scale) of the digital signal. For example, 12 means -12 dBFS. C

Channel names
This area shows up to four channel names. If you’re using one stereo channel,
this will indicate 1L and 1R. If you’re using two stereo channels, this will in-
dicate 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R.
For a monaural project, this area will show 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the num-
ber of channels.
Output assignments
These show how the audio of each channel is assigned to the L/R output
channels. L means that the audio is assigned to the left channel, R to the right
channel, and LR to both left and right channels. Channels for which no indi-
cation appears will not be output. When you're in the main screen, you can
press the [CURSOR] up/down buttons to select the channel that you want to
monitor.
The output is sent to the PHONES jack, line output jacks, and digital output
connector.

selected project.
