Playback of recorded audio

To check the recorded audio file after recording, follow the procedure below.

1.While holding down the [STOP] key, press the [REWIND] key.

The unit immediately locates to the beginning of the audio file.

2.Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the beginning of the audio file.

3.Monitor the playback audio via headphones or a monitor system.

If the analog outputs are connected to a mixing console, adjust the monitor level using the control of the console. When the playback position reaches to the end of the audio file, the unit automatically stops.

Tips:

After the audio file is recorded in the NEW FILE mode, you can overwrite the file or make recording following the end of the file. See page 4-7 for details about the INSERT mode.

You can create an audio file before recording.

As explained earlier, when making recording in the NEW FILE mode, a new audio file is created on the disk. Therefore, each time you make recording in the NEW FILE mode, the number of audio files in- creases by one. However, you can create a new audio file before making recording regardless of whether "No Audio Files!" is shown or any audio file is already created. Note that you can only make recording to the existing file in the INSERT mode described later. To create an audio files before making recording, follow the procedure below.

1. Set the [AUDIO FILE], [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches to the desired positions.

<Note>

A new file will be created with the appropriate audio file format, track mode and sampling frequency/bit length combination according to the switch settings.

2. Press the [FILE SEL] key.

•When "No Audio Files!" is shown (i.e. there is no audio file on the disk), pressing the key brings up "New File?" with flashing "001" on the display.

•If any audio file exists, the audio file number currently selected starts flashing.

By rotating the jog dial in this condition, you can bring up "New File?" with flashing "**" on the display (where "***" is one greater than the number of the existing audio files).

In the display examples on the right, the number "001" file is selected. The new file number is "003", because two audio files exist on the disk.

3.Press the [ENTER/YES] key.

A new file is created and selected. The display shows the tentative title of the newly created file with "LTC" time. You can make recording in the INSERT mode to an audio file created before recording. You can also give a desired file title to the created file, or delete unnecessary files.

See "Chapter 9: Audio file management" for details.

<Note>

If you create a new audio file when one or more audio files are available, the file number is counted indepen- dently by "BWF" and "SDII" files. For example, if you create an "SDII" file to a disk on which three "BWF" audio files are available, the file number of the created "SDII" file is "001".

Therefore, when selecting a desired audio file from among more than one file, you must set the [AUDIO FILE] switch appropriately. See "Selecting a desired file on a disk" on page 4-9 for details.
