Selecting a desired file on a disk

When there is more than one audio file (regardless of "BWF" or "SDII") on a disk, you can select a desired file using the file select function, or using the [SKIP/CURSOR] [I<<]/[>>I] keys if the “skip mode” menu is set to “File”.

The following describes how to select an audio file using the file select function. See "Chapter 9: Audio file management" for details about how to select an audio file in the skip mode.

The following assumes that there are five "BWF" and three "SDII" files on the disk.

Tips:

When setting a disk that contains both "BWF" and "SDII" audio files, the "001" file of the type ("BWF" and/or "SDII") set by the AUDIO FILE switch is selected.

• To select a file of the same file type

Follow the procedure below.

1.Press the [FILE SEL] key while stopped.

The current file number starts flashing.

2.Rotate the jog dial to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

You can select from among files of the same file type. For example, if "001" of the five "BWF" files is currently selected, you can select among "001" through "005", as well as flashing "New File?" which appears by rotating the jog dial fully clockwise. As explained earlier, "New File?" should be selected when you create a new audio file.

After selecting the desired file number, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key switches the current audio file to the selected one, and the display shows the beginning of the file.

• To select a file of the different file type

Follow the procedure below.

1.Set the [AUDIO FILE] switch to the desired position.

For example, if you want to select an "SDII" file when a "BWF" file is currently selected, set the [AUDIO FILE] switch to "SDII".

In the "FORMAT" section on the display, "BWF" is lit while "SDII" flashes.

2.Press the [FILE SEL] key while stopped.

The current file number starts flashing.

3.Rotate the jog dial to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

You can select from among files of the selected file type in step 1 above. For example, if selecting from among "SDII" files, you can select among "001" through "003", as well as flashing "New File?" which appears by rotating the jog dial fully clockwise. As explained earlier, "New File?" should be selected when you create a new audio file.

After selecting the desired file number, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key switches the current audio file to the selected one, and the display shows the beginning of the file.

<Note>

When selecting an audio file, the track mode or Fs/bit shown on the display may flashes. This shows that the position of the [TR MODE] or [SAMPLING FREQ] switch does not match the selected file. In such a case, set the switch appropriately to match the file.

Tips:

See "Chapter 9: Audio file management" for details about how to create, select, delete an audio file or how to edit a file name.
