Tips: File extension

Generally, each file has a file extension; ".wav" for a "BWF" file, or ".sd2" for a "SDII" file.

When editing the name of a "BWF" file, if you enter a name without the file extension, ".wav" is auto- matically added.

".sd2" is not automatically added to the name of a "SDII".

Note that the display only shows up to 16 characters, therefore, if an edited name has 17 or more characters, only the first 16 characters are shown.

5. Enter a desired name.

You can enter characters by two ways as below.

Use the jog dial to enter a character at the flashing point. You can move the flashing point to the right using the [SKIP/CURSOR] [>>] key.

Use the numeric keys at the flashing point. When pressing another numeric key, the flashing point moves to the right.

6.After you finish entering the desired name, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

After showing "Please Wait!" followed by "Completed!", the display returns to show the beginning of the audio file.
