Creating a "Normal mode" audio file on a disk formatted in the Tape mode

Two "Tape mode" audio files of approximately 2.0GB size are created on a disk formatted in the Tape mode, spending 4GB disk space. Therefore, in the remaining 0.7GB space, you can create "Normal mode" audio files.

1.While a "Tape mode" audio file is selected, press the [FILE SEL] key.

The current "Tape mode" file number flashes.

2.Rotate the [JOG] dial to show "New File?" with the flashing file number.

Depending on whether you change the [AUDIO FILE] switch setting or not before pressing the [FILE SEL] key, the file number shown is different.

The following assumes that the current "Tape mode" file is "BWF".

• When the [AUDIO FILE] switch is not changed (set to "BWF"):

"003" is shown, because a new "Normal mode" file is the third "BWF" file on the disk.

3.Press the [ENTER/YES] key.

Tips:

If more than one “Normal mode” audio file is created on a disk formatted in the Tape mode and any “Normal mode” audio file is currently selected, you can make recording in either the “NEW FILE” or “INSERT mode” .

• To select a desired audio file in the disk formatted in the Tape mode

Follow the same procedure as describe in "Selecting a desired file on a disk" on page 4-9.

<Note>

When loading a disk formatted in the Tape mode to the disk tray, the “001” audio file with the same type as [AUDIO FILE] switch setting (BWF or SDII) is selected.

For example, if you load a disk which contains both “Tape mode” BWF and “Normal mode” SDII files, with the [AUDIO FILE] switch set to “SDII”, the latter is selected.
