Fostex DV40 manual Recording an analog source in the Insert mode

Recording an analog source in the INSERT mode

In the INSERT mode, recording is made to an existing audio file. You can overwrite the file from the beginning or in the middle of the file, as well as make recording following the end of the file.

In the following description, as with the earlier description in “Recording an analog source in the NEW FILE mode”, we assume that we are going to record an external stereo analog audio source from the [ANALOG INPUT - TR1] and [ANALOG INPUT - 2] connectors to a DVD-RAM disk loaded in the tray.

We also assume to perform recording from the end point of the current audio file.

Tips:

In the INSERT mode, recording is made to an existing audio file. Therefore, set the [AUDIO FILE], [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches to the appropriate positions that match the audio file.

If you set any of these switches inappropriately, the switch position name flashes on the display for warning.
