• Loading setup data

You can load a setup data box from among the default box (Box number 0) and user boxes (Box numbers 1 through 9) which holds data you saved.

Tips:

Normally, when making recording in the NEW FILE mode or creating a new audio file in the file select mode, the setup data of the file previously selected is copied to the new file.

Therefore, if you want to work with the new file with a desired setup data set saved in a box, load the box after creating the file.

"BoxNo0" is shown where "0" is flashing.

You can now select a desired box by using the jog dial (or the [SKIP/CURSOR >>]/[SKIP/CURSOR <<] keys).

If you select "BoxNo0[Default]", the default settings will be loaded.

If you select any of User Boxes, an appropriate user setup data set is loaded.
