Multiple-undo function

To undo recording, use the multiple-undo function.

Tips:

The history of takes starts by the date/time when the file was created, followed by the ending date/time of each recording take, as illustrated below. By selecting the desired history event and performing the undo function, you can recall the desired take.

<Notes for performing the multiple-undo function>

You cannot undo recording on a "Tape mode" audio file.

The ending date/time of each take is memorized based on the internal clock, therefore, it is important to adjust the date/time of the internal clock correctly.

The unit keeps all takes on the disk in order to make the multiple-undo function for all takes of the current audio file possible, therefore, the remaining disk space gets smaller each time you record another take.

To release the unnecessary take history (= undo file), use the “Release Undo File?” menu in the Utility mode. See “Chapter 16: Utility mode” for details.

1.Press the [UNDO] key.

The display changes to show "Select History?", as below.
