Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Changing the Initial Settings (SETUP mode)

The SETUP mode offers the Changing the initial settings menus to configure the operating environment of the recorder, a “Check” menu that enables you to check the number of events of each track and the “Execution” menus to execute certain operations such as save/load and disk formatting.

In this chapter we will explain procedures only on <Table-1> “Changing the initial settings” menu (except setting the internal clock) and <Table-2> “Check” menu. To learn how to set the internal clock, refer to the “Quick operation guide,” and on the “Execution” menu, the “Reference page” written in <Table-3>.
