Editing an ALE file name

You can edit an existing ALE file name and resave the edited name.

The following example shows how to edit the "ALL-TAKE.ale" ALE file created in the operation example described earlier.

1)While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to light the [SHIFT] indicator, followed

by the [LIST PLAY/

EDIT EDL

] key.

The display now shows the ALE list for selecting a desired ALE file from among the existing ALE files (in the ALE list example below, "ALL-TAKE.ale" is shown).

2)While "ALL-TAKE.ale" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

After showing "Please wait!", the display changes to show the screen for ALE file editing.

3)Use the [MENU] dial to select "Edit ALE name" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display now shows the screen for file name editing, on which the leftmost character of the current name flashes.

Use the [SKIP/CURSOR] keys to move the cursor position and use the [MENU] dial (or the alphanumeric keys) to enter a desired character.

By pressing the [CLEAR] key repeatedly when the cursor is pointing the leftmost charac- ter, you can clear the whole name.

The file extension (".ale") is automatically added to the name so you do not need to enter it.

4)After completing editing the name, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The new name is confirmed and the display returns to the screen on which you can select an editing item.

5)Press the [EXIT/NO] key repeatedly until you exit the EDIT EDL FILE menu.
