<Display Section>

The D-160 display integrates the level meter of a high-visibility FL tube with a 16 digits and 35 dot message display.

The level meter shows the Track 1-16 output level of the recorder section. The time display shows the current time of the recorder section using ABS TIME (Absolute time), MTC (MIDI timecode), or MIDI BAR/BEAT (bar/beat). This display also shows messages required for interactive operation. The following section explains the display functions and provides with some examples.

1. Display shown when the power is turned on

When you turn on the power to the D-160, the display shows "Initializing..." (Initializing. Please wait.), and the time display shows the time using the time base (ABS, MTC, or BAR/ BEAT/CLK) that was selected before the power was turned off.
