5.Rotate the [JOG] dial to select a Program to save.

You can select any existing Program (up to 99) to save.

6.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The length of the time (ABS 0 - REC END) of the program recording selected appears and the time shown can be edited. The time is usually saved according to the time displayed, however, it is possible to shorten the time to save at this stage when saving the time. In other words, though the actual recording may be 9 minutes 00 seconds, as shown in the example below, that time can be edited to 5 minutes when saved.

As mentioned in the <Note> on page 85, if the data on the additional track is longer the time can be set to a longer time and saved (however, the maximum time that can be edited is 59 minutes 59 seconds).

10.Confirm that the external device is syncing with the digital input signal, and start recording on the external device (DAT or adat).

Setting a START-ID (DAT) or a locate point at the recording start point will facilitate future loading operations.

11.Confirm that the recording on the external device has started, and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The save operation starts, and the time required for the save operation appears on the display and a few seconds later, it will start counting down. This few seconds delay is due to the pilot signal which is recorded to mark the beginning of the Program to facilitate future load operation. Therefore, the actual save operation starts when counting down starts. Two tracks are saved each time in the order of Track 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. to a DAT machine. Eight tracks are saved each time in the order of Track 1-8, 9-16, etc. to an adat machine.

12.When data is successfully saved a “COMPLETED!” message will appear on the display, and stop the external DAT or adat.

13.Press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key to quit the Setup mode.

The display will return to the previous time base indication.

To cancel the operation or restore the indication shown before you pressed the [EXECUTE/YES] key, press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key. Pressing one of these keys repeatedly takes you to the previous layer, finally quitting the Setup mode, and the display will return to the previous time base indication. If you press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key any time after you execute the save operation but before it is complete, the saved song data will be invalid.
